Berthe Morisot's "Girl Playing the Mandolin" is an Impressionist painting from 1890, showcasing a young girl engrossed in her music. The artwork captures a fleeting moment, evident in the loose brushstrokes and blurred background. Morisot, a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement, was known for her depiction of women and children in domestic settings, often focusing on intimate and casual scenes.
