About the Item
Painted with inspiration, sensitivity and with grace, this painting depicts a young woman whose right arm is slightly stretched out. Although we cannot see her hand, she must clearly be holding a paint brush, which she is directing toward a canvas on an easel. Could it be a self portrait, or is a fellow artist painting her?
Without wanting to speculate too much, I began to wonder who the woman represented might be and started thinking of the Morisot sisters, Berthe and Edma. I do think there is a passing resemblance of the woman in the picture and Edma's well known portrait of her sister standing at at easel.
It is lovely to see images of women artists in the 19th Century at work. The Fine Arts Academy were forbidden to women until 1897. In order to learn, the Morisot sisters for instance copied the great masters at the Louvre. Their parents made them build a workshop/studio annexed to their house in Passy, as an encouragement. The two women, just like the artist who created the present picture, painted and not what should be, of capturing the impression of a moment.
