Peasant Girl 1890

Berthe Morisot's "Peasant Girl" (1890) is a red chalk drawing depicting a young woman in a simple dress, her gaze directed toward the viewer. Morisot, a leading Impressionist painter, frequently used the female figure as a subject, and this work reflects her interest in capturing the everyday lives of women. The loose and gestural strokes of the drawing contribute to the work's sense of immediacy and informality, capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life.
