Berthe Morisot’s *Little Girl with Cat*, created in 1889, is an impressionist work depicting a young girl holding a cat. The artist, a leading figure in the Impressionist movement and the only woman to participate in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874, often explored domestic and intimate scenes. Morisot’s approach blends loose brushwork with delicate observation, capturing the quiet interaction between the child and the animal. The painting reflects her recurring interest in portraying youth and familial bonds within her broader oeuvre.
