Miss Reynolds 1884

"Miss Reynolds" is an 1884 painting by Berthe Morisot, a leading figure in the Impressionist movement. The painting depicts a woman and child, likely Morisot's daughter and a friend or relative. Morisot's Impressionist style is evident in the loose brushstrokes and emphasis on capturing the fleeting effects of light. The painting is known for its soft colors, particularly the warm hues of the woman's hair and the child's skin, which contrast with the cool tones of the background. The intimate composition and gentle expression of the figures evoke a sense of tenderness and domesticity, common themes in Morisot's oeuvre.
