Young Girl Holding a Basket
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pastel drawing by the renowned French Impressionist artist Berthe Morisot, created in the year 1891. Morisot, who was also known as Madame Manet after her marriage to Édouard Manet, was a leading figure in the Impressionist movement and is celebrated for her portraits and scenes of modern life. In this beautiful work, Morisot depicts a young girl, likely a member of the upper class, standing in a sunlit room. She wears a cream-colored dress with a red hat adorned with a ginger-colored ribbon, adding a pop of color to her outfit. In her hands, she cradles an empty hanging basket, perhaps a symbol of anticipation or preparation. The girl's red hair cascades down her back, framing her face and adding to the overall charm of the piece. The drawing is executed in pastel on pink laid paper with red fibrous inclusions pieced at the bottom and stretched and edge-mounted on a honeycomb paper panel. The use of pastel allows Morisot to capture the delicate textures of the girl's clothing and hair, as well as the subtle variations in color and tone. This evocative portrait invites viewers to ponder the girl's thoughts and emotions, as well as the significance of the basket she holds. It is a testament to Morisot's skill as an artist and her ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. "Young Girl Holding a Basket" is a beloved work in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago and a must-see for anyone interested in Impressionist art and the works of Berthe Morisot.
