Walk in the Boulogne Wood is a 1889 ink by Berthe Morisot, a Impressionism work, depicting Duck, held at National Gallery of Art.
A woman in a pink dress walks a small dog in a sunlit wood. The trees are tall. The ground is grassy. The dog’s leash is short. This is a drypoint print, not a painting. Drypoint scratches a metal plate. Ink fills the scratches. Then paper presses the plate to make the image. This one was printed long after Berthe Morisot died. Compare her loose lines to Mary Cassatt’s prints.
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.
