Berthe Morisot (January 14, 1841 – March 2, 1895) was a painter and a member of the circle of painters in Paris who became known as the Impressionists. Undervalued for over a century, possibly because she was a woman, she is now considered among the first league of Impressionist painters.

All lovely, Esther,and painted with delicacy. Many artists seem to have struggled and I'm sure the same is true today, but as you say this artists struggle was probably compounded by the fact that she was a woman.
I also like the portrait - it's good to put a face to the name!
Esther,
All beautiful!
The sister-in-law of Manet? I never knew that.
Impressionism is probably one of my favorite art styles. Thank you so much.
Ann, well put. As you may know, she and Mary Cassatt were the only women in that group of artists.
Glad you enjoyed it Easter.
Mimi, I was surprised to find that out too. Apparently, she was married to his brother.
