{"product_id":"by-the-water-berthe-morisot","title":"By the Water - Berthe Morisot","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate watercolour by Berthe Morisot, capturing a relaxed moment between two figures in a garden with fluid, light-filled brushwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerthe Morisot, a central figure in the Impressionist circle, produced this work during a period of experimentation with light and medium. The scene depicts a man and a woman in a garden setting, captured with the spontaneity characteristic of her approach to watercolour. Morisot often favoured domestic or outdoor scenes, focusing on the interplay between figures and their immediate environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition relies on rapid, fluid brushwork. The woman, dressed in a detailed blue gown, sits in contrast to the man, who is positioned on the ground in lighter attire. Morisot uses the white of the paper to suggest the luminosity of the day, allowing the paint to bleed and blend in areas of foliage. This technique creates a sense of movement and atmosphere, rather than rigid definition. The palette is dominated by cool blues and greens, balanced by the neutral tones of the man's clothing and the warmth of the background greenery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many of her contemporaries who focused on urban life, Morisot frequently turned her attention to the private sphere. This piece demonstrates her ability to convey a specific mood through light and colour. The figures appear relaxed, their interaction suggested by their proximity and the casual nature of their poses. The work reflects the Impressionist interest in capturing a fleeting moment, where the brushstrokes remain visible and the overall effect is one of immediacy. By avoiding heavy outlines, Morisot allows the forms to dissolve into the surrounding garden, creating a unified visual experience that prioritises the sensation of the scene over precise anatomical detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/impression-sunrise-claude-monet-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eImpression, Sunrise - Claude Monet — Claude Monet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/la-pointe-du-lou-gaou-armand-guillaumin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLa Pointe du Lou Gaou - Armand Guillaumin — Armand Guillaumin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Berthe Morisot","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58887984316751,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58887993983311,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58887994016079,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58887994048847,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58887994081615,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/By-the-Water_Poster_CompositorV1_1790363411487.jpg?v=1790364147","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/by-the-water-berthe-morisot","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
