EDITORS COMMENTS
In this pastel print by Berthe Morisot, we are transported back to the year 1886, where a young girl is engrossed in her playful game with a ball. The artist's delicate strokes and vibrant colors bring life to the scene, capturing the innocence and joy of childhood. Dressed in a black dress that contrasts beautifully against the soft background, the young girl exudes grace and poise as she sits on the ground. With perfect coordination, she throws the ball into mid-air, her eyes fixed on its trajectory. We can almost feel her anticipation as she prepares to catch it skillfully. Seated beside her is another figure, perhaps an older sibling or friend who watches with amusement and admiration. Their presence adds depth to the composition and suggests shared moments of fun and laughter. Morisot's artwork not only captures a simple moment of play but also celebrates the universal nature of games throughout history. It reminds us how essential playtime is for children's development – fostering physical skills, social interaction, and imagination. Displayed at Musee Marmottan Monet in Paris, France, this timeless masterpiece continues to captivate viewers today. As we gaze upon this enchanting image from over a century ago, we are reminded of our own cherished memories playing games as children - moments filled with laughter and pure delight.
