Boating on the Lake 1892

"Boating on the Lake" (1892) by Berthe Morisot portrays a woman in a rowboat, her back to the viewer, on a lake. The scene is painted in a loose and impressionistic style, capturing the light and movement of the water and the soft, luminous atmosphere of the day. The viewer's eye is drawn to the bright, vibrant colors and the woman's elegant silhouette. This work is a testament to Morisot's skill in capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life, reflecting the Impressionist movement’s focus on contemporary subjects.
