This painting was painted as part of the study of the Impressionist drawing approach. As you know, representatives of impressionism are characterized by fleeting, airiness and a varied range of colors. The Impressionists rarely spent several days painting in a studio; their main task was to capture a particular moment in a given second and to show the impermanence of nature.
Berthe Morisot is the only woman among the Impressionists; her paintings feature secular female subjects that give us the opportunity to spy on a woman at that time.
