This lightweight scarf features the delicate, lush tones of Garden at Maurecourt, 1884 by French Impressionist Berthe Morisot, showcased in the exhibition A Century of Modern Art. Known for her light, fluid brushwork and intimate depictions of modern life, Morisot often painted women and children in domestic scenes and outdoor settings, capturing fleeting moments with a delicate, airy style. The painting likely depicts Morisot’s young daughter, Julie, and one of her sister Edma’s daughters in Edma’s garden outside Paris. As a founding member of the Impressionist movement, Morisot played a key role in challenging artistic conventions and expanding the portrayal of women’s experiences in art.
