Bois de Boulogne is a 1897 oil by Berthe Morisot, a Impressionism work, held at Musée Marmottan Monet.
This painting depicts a serene scene of a woman in a long, dark dress and hat standing in a lush green field. She is accompanied by a small dog, which appears to be a terrier mix, and is positioned to her left. The background of the painting features several trees and other people, although they are not clearly defined. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the impression of movement and energy. The painting is a beautiful example of Impressionist art, and its soft colors and gentle subject matter make it a pleasure to behold.
