Young Woman at Rest,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating drypoint engraving by the renowned French Impressionist artist Berthe Morisot, dated 1889, presents a serene and introspective moment in time. Morisot, a student of Edouard Manet and sister-in-law to Édouard Manet's son, was a leading figure in the Impressionist movement. In this exquisite work, she masterfully captures the essence of relaxation and repose. The young woman in the print is depicted lying on a chaise longue, her head resting on one hand while her other hand dangles loosely by her side. Her posture exudes a sense of ease and comfort, as if she is fully immersed in a moment of quiet reflection. The setting is the countryside, with the lush greenery and dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, adding to the idyllic atmosphere. The use of drypoint, a technique in which the artist etches the design into a plate with a sharp point, gives the print a unique texture and depth. The lines are bold and expressive, capturing the subtle nuances of the woman's form and the intricacies of the furniture and foliage. The contrast between the black ink on the cream laid paper creates a striking visual effect, further emphasizing the artist's skill and mastery of her medium. This print, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to Morisot's ability to capture the beauty and simplicity of everyday life. It invites viewers to pause and appreciate the quiet moments of relaxation and introspection, making it a beloved piece of both Impressionist and art historical significance.
