Berthe Morisot with a Fan

Edouard Manet
1874
Black becomes her so well

This intimate portrait, which has astonishing presence, is that of one painter painted by another painter. The artist Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) was the friend and muse of Edouard Manet, who painted a total of twelve portraits of her. This one is particularly moving for two reasons: it is the last one and it was kept all her life by the young woman in her personal collection.
