A framed painting by Berthe Morisot entitled "Farm in Normandy".

Berthe Morisot (January 14, 1841 to March 2, 1895) was a painter and a member of the circle of painters in Paris who became known as the Impressionists. Morisot was born in Bourges, Cher, France, into a successful bourgeois family. Her first appearance in the Salon de Paris came at the age of twenty three in 1864, with the acceptance of two landscape paintings. She continued to show regularly in the Salon, to generally favorable reviews, until 1873, the year before the first Impressionist exhibition. Morisot painted what she experienced on a daily basis. Her paintings reflect the 19th century cultural restrictions of her class and gender.
