Haystacks at Bougival 1883

"Haystacks at Bougival" (1883) by Berthe Morisot, a prominent Impressionist painter, depicts a rural scene with a large haystack in the foreground and figures working in the field. The loose brushstrokes, characteristic of Impressionism, capture the fleeting light and atmosphere of the moment, creating a sense of spontaneity and immediacy. The composition is balanced, with the haystack taking center stage and the figures providing a sense of scale and activity. This painting, now housed at the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris, showcases Morisot's talent for portraying everyday life and natural beauty with Impressionist flair.
