Eugène Manet & His Daughter in the Garden at Bougival by Morisot
An 1881 oil on canvas painting, Eugène Manet & His Daughter in the Garden at Bougival, by Berthe Morisot (1841-95), the French impressionist painter. In a scene she painted several times in various poses, the artist presents her husband Eugène Manet and daughter Julie playing a boardgame. The scene is an unusual one since most impressionists were male and so painted mothers with their daughters. The work is an excellent example of Morisot's style with long and loosely applied brushstrokes. (Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris)
