The Drawing Lesson (Berthe Morisot and her Daughter Julie Manet) is a 1889 ink by Berthe Morisot, a Impressionism work, depicting Reading, held at National Gallery of Art.
Berthe Morisot sits sideways at a table with her daughter Julie. Julie draws on paper while Morisot watches. A teapot and cup sit to the side. Morisot was a close friend of Manet’s brother. She often painted her daughter. The drypoint technique makes the lines soft but clear. This shows a quiet moment at home. Look up Morisot, Berthe to see more of her work.
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.
