Eugène Manet on the Isle of Wight
Painting by Berthe Morisot / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eugène Manet on the Isle of Wight is an oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Berthe Morisot. The painting depicts a man, Eugène Manet, relaxing at a hotel window, with vases visible on the parapet. Manet is looking out the window as two elegantly dressed women in white pass by. Several boats appear at the shoreline.[1][2]
The painting dates from the period just after Morisot married Eugène Manet, brother of the painter Édouard Manet, in December 1874. It was created during their honeymoon the following year, when they spent some time at Cowes, a town in the north of the Isle of Wight.
The 38 by 46 centimeter painting is in the collection of the Musée Marmottan Monet, in Paris.
