The works by these French and American artists-Berthe Morisot, a central figure in the Impressionist movement Mary Cassatt, a very independent artist and a respected colleague of Degas’s Eva Gonzalès, one of Manet’s most talented pupils and Marie Bracquemond, whose small oeuvre is of the highest quality-reflect their various lives and experiences as women. Morisot was celebrated in her time as a leader of the movement, and her innovative works were coveted by dealers and collectors alike. ![]() ![]() ![]() Yet there were quite a number of professional female artists in the second half of the nineteenth century, and the exceptional, attractive oil paintings, pastels, watercolors, drawings, and etchings in this volume are by four of the most significant.

There is a widespread interest in Impressionist painting, and exhibitions on this accessible movement often draw a large and diverse audience.
