Young Woman Powdering her Face 1877

Berthe Morisot's "Young Woman Powdering Her Face" (1877) depicts a woman in a white dress, seated before a mirror, applying powder to her face. The loose brushstrokes and Impressionistic style capture the fleeting moment of a woman's daily routine, highlighting the beauty of everyday life. Morisot, a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement, often painted female figures in domestic settings, exploring themes of femininity and domesticity. The casual pose and intimate setting suggest the artist's interest in depicting the personal and private moments of women's lives.
