From Museum of Fine Arts Saint Petersburg:
Morisot received professional training as a copyist in the Louvre and later received instruction from Camille Corot, through whom she made many important contacts. She began exhibiting at the Salon before contributing her work to the First Impressionist Exhibition in 1874. That December, Morisot married Edouard Manet’s younger brother, Eugène. She participated in all but one Impressionist show, due to the birth of her daughter Julie.
