Berthe Morisot by Manet Canvas Print

Unlike most portrait art, this doesn’t wait for approval. Manet’s young Berthe Morisot looks straight back at you quiet, sharp, completely sure of herself. On the wall she brings a calm seriousness that softens a sharp modern room and adds depth to a more traditional one. Hang her in a study, a reading corner or a hallway where you pass her often. She sits best against chalky off-white, warm stone or a deeper painted wall, with dark stained wood, aged leather, linen and a single brass lamp nearby. Avoid pairing with loud graphic prints or hot colour she wants space, not competition. The canvas weave softens the brushwork and gives the dark coat a richer, painted feel.
