Two Girls
circa 1894
Step into a lazy afternoon with Berthe Morisot, a founding mother of Impressionism who loved painting the private lives of women. Here, two girls seem lost in their own worlds—one sits barefoot on the floor, head bowed in contemplation, while the other lounges on a bed, chin propped in her hands, staring blankly ahead. The cool blue walls and the washbasin in the corner suggest a bedroom scene, rendered with Morisot's signature rapid, sketchy brushstrokes that make the whole image feel like a fleeting, candid memory rather than a stiff portrait.
