Young Girl with an Apron

What you see

A girl with long reddish hair and a blue bow sits almost facing us, her hands buried in the folds of her white apron. She wears a dark blue dress and looks off to the left, lost in thought. On that side, on a small table with curved legs, stand a bowl of pink and white flowers and a tall vase. On the right, a door frame closes off the space.

The background mixes very pale pinks, creams and greens, and the dark dress makes the apron and face stand out. The strokes are long and visible, especially in the hair, which falls in golden strands. Seek out the gilded edge of the little table and the signature “B. Morisot” in the lower left corner.
