Morisot: The Cradle
The Cradle (Mus e
d'Orsay) was painted by the French impressionist Berthe Morisot in 1872.
The figures are depicted naturalistically, showing Morisot's extraordinary
ability to capture a tender, fleeting moment of experience through direct
observation of an everyday event. (Erich Lessing/Art Resource, NY)
