This is Berthe Morisot, one of my favorite painters. Born in 1841, she was one of two famous women who were part of the Impressionist movement. She was selected six times to exhibit her work in the Salon, an esteemed exhibit of painters chosen by a panel in Paris. Then in 1874, she joined the “rejected” Impressionists, a group of more daring painters which included Paul Cezanne, Edgar Deas, Moet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Alfred Sisley.
