{"product_id":"the-hairdresser-berthe-morisot","title":"The Hairdresser - Berthe Morisot","description":"\u003cp\u003eA late Impressionist work by Berthe Morisot, capturing a quiet, domestic scene of a woman styling her companion's hair with soft, expressive brushwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hairdresser, painted in 1894, represents the final period of Berthe Morisot's career. The work captures a private, domestic moment: a woman attending to the hair of a seated companion. Morisot employs a light, rapid brushwork technique that characterises her later output, where the boundaries between figures and their surroundings become increasingly fluid. The palette is dominated by soft pinks, warm ochres, and creamy whites, creating a sense of intimacy and quietude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMorisot was a central figure in the Impressionist circle, known for her focus on the domestic sphere and the lives of women. Unlike many of her contemporaries who sought out urban spectacles, Morisot often turned her attention to the interior world. In this composition, the figures are rendered with a lightness of touch that avoids rigid definition. The background includes a framed picture and decorative elements, which are suggested rather than described in detail. This approach allows the viewer to focus on the interaction between the two women and the gentle gesture of the hairdresser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting demonstrates Morisot's mastery of light and atmosphere. The white dress of the seated woman reflects the ambient colour of the room, showing the artist's keen observation of how light interacts with fabric and skin. By this stage in her career, Morisot had moved away from the more structured compositions of her earlier years, favouring a more spontaneous and expressive application of paint. The work remains a clear example of her ability to elevate everyday scenes into subjects of genuine aesthetic interest through her unique handling of colour and form.\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\/portrait-of-emmanuel-chabrier-edouard-manet\" 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;\"\u003ePortrait of Emmanuel Chabrier - Edouard Manet — Édouard Manet\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":58885923275087,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58886189547855,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58886189580623,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58886189613391,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58886189646159,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Hairdresser_Poster_CompositorV1_1790343155418.jpg?v=1790343872","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/the-hairdresser-berthe-morisot","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
