Cherries Fruit Tree Ladder Picking
The Cherry Picker
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Berthe Morisot is a captivating pastel on paper that transports us to the enchanting world of impressionism. This exquisite artwork, measuring 136x89 cm, showcases the artist's remarkable talent and her ability to capture fleeting moments with delicate strokes. In this scene, we see a young girl standing atop a ladder beneath a bountiful fruit tree. With her hat shielding her face from the warm sunlight, she skillfully plucks ripe cherries into a basket held in one hand. The soft hues and dappled light evoke an atmosphere of tranquility and natural beauty. Morisot's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition - from the intricate textures of the leaves and branches to the subtle shading on each cherry. The viewer can almost taste the sweetness of these luscious fruits as they are carefully gathered. This painting not only celebrates nature's abundance but also highlights themes of femininity and youthfulness. The girl's graceful posture exudes confidence and independence, challenging traditional gender roles prevalent during Morisot's time. As we admire "The Cherry Picker" we are reminded of Morisot's significant contribution to art history as one of the few female members of the Impressionist movement. Her unique perspective continues to inspire generations with its ethereal charm and timeless appeal. Image credit: www. bridgemanimages. com
