The Basket Chair is a 1892 oil by Berthe Morisot, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
This painting shows a young girl standing behind a railing, with her arms stretched out along the top. She's wearing a white dress and a hat. In front of her, there's a watering can and a wicker chair. The background is filled with trees and bushes. The girl is looking down, and her face is blurred. The painting has a lot of green and brown colors, which gives it a natural feel. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, which adds to the sense of movement in the scene. The artist who painted this, Berthe Morisot, was known for her Impressionist style.
Berthe Marie Pauline Morisot (French: ; 14 January 1841 – 2 March 1895) was a French painter, printmaker and a member of the circle of painters in Paris who became known as the Impressionists.
