Known primarily for her paintings of domestic life, Berthe Morisot 1841-1895 began experimenting with printmaking in the late 1880's at the encouragement of her Impressionist colleagues. In this drypoint, Morisot lightly sketches her daughter, Julie Manet, a frequent subject of her works. She was Morisot's only child and the niece of Édouard Manet. Beginning around 1888, Morisot made 12 known etching and drypoint plates, which were deposited with renowned publisher Ambroise Vollard after her death in 1895 Vollard had small editions of her plates printed. The two dots, at the upper center and the lower center, indicate that the print belongs to the posthumous edition produced by Vollard. Measuring 5 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches with full margins, this drypoint etching is an early impression with good detail in the dark areas and visible plate tone (lacking in later impressions). Handsomely framed with acid free French mat in an A.P.F. reproduction frame measuring 12 1/2 x 11 1/2 inches.
