La Broderie 1889

Berthe Morisot's watercolor "La Broderie" (1889) captures a moment of quiet contemplation. The composition features a woman seated in a chair, her back turned slightly towards the viewer, as she delicately works on embroidery. Morisot's Impressionistic style is evident in the loose brushstrokes and soft washes of color that define the figure and the surrounding space, suggesting a sense of intimacy and everyday domesticity. The artwork offers a glimpse into the private world of women and their creative pursuits, a theme that Morisot frequently explored throughout her career.
