From Sotheby's:
Much like her fellow female Impressionist Mary Cassatt, Berthe Morisot's chosen subjects were frequently women and children shown in simple poses or engaged in familiar daily activities. Although the society into which she was born did not freely recognize women as professional artists, her work was executed with a deftness that placed her as a respected colleague of Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Sisley, with whom she frequently exhibited.
