Édouard Manet
French, 1832–1883
Berthe Morisot with a Muff, c. 1871–72
Oil on canvas
74 × 60 cm (29 ¼ × 23 ½ in.)
The Cleveland Museum of Art
Bequest of Leonard C. Hanna Jr.
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.
