Jeannie Gobillard 1894

"Jeannie Gobillard" is an oil on canvas portrait by Berthe Morisot painted in 1894. This painting exemplifies Morisot's impressionist style through loose brushstrokes and soft, blurred edges. The subject, Jeannie Gobillard, is depicted in a simple, everyday setting, emphasizing the artist's focus on capturing the fleeting moments of daily life. The work showcases Morisot's mastery of light and color, particularly in the subtle transitions of the background. This portrait, like many of Morisot's works, offers a glimpse into the intimate world of women and children, a theme that resonated deeply with the artist and her peers in the Impressionist movement.
