Femme cousant

Berthe Morisot

Berthe Morisot was a French painter and a prominent figure in the impressionist movement. Known for her sensitive use of light and soft brushwork, she often depicted domestic scenes, portraits, and landscapes. Her work captured intimate moments of women’s lives, establishing her as a pioneering female artist in a male-dominated era.

Berthe Morisot created Femme cousant in 1879. It is now part of the collection at Albright-Knox Art Gallery in United States.
