The Drawing Lesson (Berthe Morisot Drawing with Her Daughter) is a 1889 by Berthe Morisot, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows a woman drawing while a girl watches. The artist looks straight at us, almost like she’s drawing our portrait too. Her daughter Julie leans close, studying every line. Morisot often painted her family. This drypoint was made by scratching lines onto metal. The work feels quiet, like a private moment caught in time. See it at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
