EDITORS COMMENTS
Young Woman at Rest," a captivating drypoint engraving by the renowned French Impressionist artist Berthe Morisot, dates back to the late 19th century. This exquisite work of art, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases Morisot's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of a moment in time. The image features a young woman in a tranquil setting, reclining on a chaise longue with her hand resting on her head. The woman's posture exudes an air of relaxation and contemplation, inviting the viewer to ponder her thoughts and emotions. Morisot masterfully employs the use of black and white tones, creating a sense of timelessness and understated elegance. Berthe Morisot, a student of Edouard Manet, was a key figure in the Impressionist movement. Her innovative approach to art, characterized by her loose brushwork and naturalistic subject matter, set her apart from her contemporaries. In "Young Woman at Rest," Morisot's use of drypoint, a technique involving the etching of lines into a plate with a sharp point, adds texture and depth to the image, enhancing the overall effect. The artwork's setting, reminiscent of a quiet countryside retreat, further emphasizes the woman's sense of peace and serenity. "Young Woman at Rest" is a testament to Morisot's ability to capture the beauty and nuance of everyday life, making it a cherished addition to the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago and an enduring masterpiece of Impressionist art.
