Berthe Morisot with a Fan | Édouard Manet Notebook

Portrait of Berthe Morisot with a Fan (1874) by Édouard Manet is a beautiful depiction of the French Impressionist artist Berthe Morisot. In this painting, she is elegantly seated, holding a fan delicately in her right hand. Morisot’s posture and the soft rendering of her features highlight the grace and beauty of the subject, while Manet’s characteristic loose brushwork and mastery of light create a sense of immediacy and intimacy. The fan, which serves as both a prop and a symbol of femininity, adds depth to the portrait, enhancing the overall atmosphere of refined elegance. This piece is a testament to Manet’s skill in capturing both the personality and the inner world of his subjects. Use the design tools to add custom text or personalise the image.
