Girl gathering cherries 1891

"Girl Gathering Cherries" is an oil on canvas painting created by Berthe Morisot in 1891. The piece, currently in a private collection, depicts a young girl reaching for a branch of cherries, her white dress and blue sash highlighted by the bright hues of the surrounding foliage and sky. This Impressionist work, showcasing Morisot's signature loose brushstrokes and emphasis on light and color, captures a fleeting moment of everyday life. Morisot was one of the few female Impressionist painters, known for her depictions of women and children in domestic and outdoor settings. The painting's intimate scale and focus on the girl's graceful movement contribute to its captivating charm.
