The Artist’s Sister at a Window | Berthe Morisot

The Artist’s Sister at a Window (1869) by Berthe Morisot is a striking portrait of the artist's sister, Edma Morisot, gazing out of an open window. This intimate and introspective work demonstrates Morisot's mastery in capturing natural light and subtle expressions. The soft brushwork and pastel colour palette highlight the fleeting moment, allowing the viewer to feel as though they are looking over Edma’s shoulder. The open window symbolises both physical and emotional openness, inviting contemplation. The portrait exudes a sense of quiet elegance, and Morisot's Impressionist technique emphasises the beauty in ordinary moments. Use the design tools to add custom text or personalise the image.
