Édouard Manet · c. 1871–72 · Cleveland Museum of Art
Looking for this guide.
This is one of two portraits Manet painted of Morisot dressed for winter in a heavy coat and feathered hat. (See Berthe Morisot with a Half Veil, also in this gallery.) Manet’s wide brushstrokes and crosshatchings, which describe areas of shadow, evoke the sketchy quality of Morisot’s own paintings, likely Manet’s nod to his subject’s identity as an artist. Manet kept this portrait of Morisot throughout his life, and it was listed in the inventory of his studio after his death.
