The Cheval-Glass
by MORISOT, Berthe, Oil on canvas, 65 x 54 cm
Berthe Morisot’s style was principally influenced by Manet then, following his death by Renoir, in particular his paintings of women, as in the present work, in which she depicted a young woman getting dressed in front of a cheval-glass (a long mirror mounted on swivels in a frame).
