One of the few female Impressionist painters, Morisot happened to be married to Manet’s brother Eugène, also a painter. Her work was romantic and soft with a fanciful feminine flair, and evoked a sense of intimacy, often depicting people during seemingly private moments. The Cradle (1872) depicts her sister gazing at her baby, Young Girl in a Ballgown (1879), and The Port of Nice (1882) are among her most notable works.
