EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "At the Edge of the Forest (Edma and Jeanne)" by Berthe Morisot, a renowned French impressionist painter. Created around 1872, this piece beautifully combines watercolor and graphite on paper to depict two figures seated at the edge of a forest. The central subjects are Edma Morisot-Pontillon, the artist's sister who was also an accomplished artist herself, and her daughter Jeanne. The intimate bond between mother and child is evident as they sit together in a serene woodland setting. Morisot's distinctive impressionistic style is apparent in this unfinished work, with loose brushstrokes that capture the essence of nature surrounding them. The trees stand tall yet appear soft against their delicate forms. Through this painting, Morisot masterfully portrays not only her family members but also explores themes of femininity and domesticity often associated with her body of work. This portrait exudes a sense of tranquility while showcasing Morisot's ability to convey emotion through subtle gestures and expressions. Housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. It serves as a testament to Berthe Morisot's significant contributions to French Impressionism and solidifies her place among art history's most celebrated female artists.
