The Harbour at Lorient Picture

$32.00

The replica painting of the Harbour at Loreint is by the French artist Berthe Morisot. This is one of her most famous paintings and was completed in 1869. It is owned by The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Born in 1841, her father was a high ranking civil servant and her mother was the great niece of Jean-Honore Fragonard. Berthe and her sister Edma were encouraged to pursue their artistic ambitions. Berthe Morisot’s older sister Edma Pontillion was visiting at the time and ended up as a feature in the landscape. At the time of this artwork, Berthe was attempting to forge her own path and create a more independent selection of work. Her style was becoming less rigid and more in tune with what was to become known as the Impressionist technique. She was the only women in the first group of the major impressionists in 1877 (talk about an inspirational women!). Morisot mostly painted glimpses into women’s private spaces - a young women combing her sister’s hair or a mother tending to her children.

The painting itself is applied over processed wood. Processed wood is made by binding real wood, scrap wood, shredded wood fibers/or sawdust with adhesives to create products that look like and act like a solid piece of wood. On the back it is labeled National Gallery of Art, Berthe Morisot The Harbour at Lorient, from the Ailsa Mellon B. Collection.

This is a found object in great condition. There is a little wear and tear on the edges, but no scratches or peeling on the picture. There was a cardboard hanging piece glued on at one time that I have left on, but could be easily changed out.

The painting measures about 11 3/4 wide and about 6 3/4 long and about 1/4 inch thick.
