The Cheval Glass 1876

Berthe Morisot's "The Cheval Glass" from 1876 showcases the Impressionist style's focus on capturing fleeting moments and the artist's personal life. Morisot, a prominent figure in the movement, often depicted women in domestic settings. The loose brushstrokes and soft colors, characteristic of Impressionism, contribute to the painting's intimate and informal feel. The woman's reflection in the cheval glass and her casual pose further emphasize the casual atmosphere, placing the viewer in a private moment of reflection and self-observation.
