Berthe Morisot au bouquet de violettes
The story
The painter Berthe Morisot — Manet's frequent model and later sister-in-law — in a black hat and dress, a small bouquet of violets pinned at her collar. Many people consider this the most psychologically alive portrait Manet ever made; her intensity comes straight off the canvas.
