In a Park is a pastel painting on paper mounted on cardboard, executed c. 1874 by French artist Berthe Morisot. It is held at the Petit Palais in Paris.[1]
Description
The painting depicts a young woman in a leisure time in a park with two little girls and a dog. The woman, dressed in black and with a hat, is seated in the foreground in a field of long grass, holding a reclined child, while her dog sits in front of them. A net used to catch butterflies lies at her left. In the middle distance stands a small girl holding her straw hat, and in the background are trees.
The painting demonstrates both the influence of naturalist master Camille Corot and of impressionist painter Édouard Manet, a friend of Morisot, with whose contemporary work it has some similarities. The influence seems to have been mutual between both painters, and Morisot married Édouard's brother, Eugène Manet, in 1874.[2][3]
