Woman with a Fan
1876
Berthe Morisot captures a striking woman in a sweeping black dress, her blonde hair adorned with a delicate white rose, as she gazes thoughtfully to the side. Painted in 1876 during the height of the Impressionist movement, Morisot uses rapid, energetic brushstrokes to bring the figure to life, particularly noticeable in the textured folds of her dark gown and the fan she holds. You might spot a tiny heart hidden near her signature in the bottom right corner—a charming little secret left by the artist. As one of the few female founders of Impressionism, Morisot often focused on intimate, everyday moments, giving this portrait a wonderfully personal and modern feel.
