Berthe Morisot
Sewing near the Window
From $100
This painting is quick, airy strokes of blue, white and rose, and a cheap copy turns it chalky and flat. Our Morisot In the Dining Room print is made from the museum’s own high-resolution image so every quick stroke stays fresh.
Canvas, framed or paper
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.
Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.
Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.
Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.
Sizes
16x20 inch, 24x30 inch, 32x40 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
On your wall
Its tall shape suits a study, a hallway or a living room wall. The blues, whites and roses look rich with cream, slate and walnut, and a natural wood or white frame suits it.
About the painting
In the Dining Room by Berthe Morisot
A woman Impressionist
Berthe Morisot was the only woman in the first Impressionist exhibition of 1874, and showed in all but one of the eight. She painted the private world of the home.
The little servant
In 1886 she painted a young maid in a white apron standing in a dining room, a cupboard door open beside her and a little dog playing at her feet, in quick, feathery strokes.
The last show
It hung in the eighth and last Impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1886, titled Petite servante. Chester Dale bought it in 1929 and left it to the National Gallery of Art.
Read the story
A sunlit dining room in Paris. A young maid in a white apron stands in the middle of the room, looking straight out at us. A cupboard door hangs open beside her, and a little white dog plays at her feet.
Berthe Morisot painted this in 1886. By then she had been part of the Impressionist group for twelve years. She was the only woman in their first exhibition in 1874, and she showed in every one of their exhibitions except one, the year her daughter Julie was born.
This painting hung in the eighth and last Impressionist exhibition, in Paris in 1886. It was called Petite servante, the little servant.
Look at the brushstrokes. They are quick and feathery, flicked on in every direction, so the whole room seems full of light and movement.
In 1929 the New York collector Chester Dale bought it, and he left it to the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
In the Dining Room. Berthe Morisot, 1886.

Questions
Is this the original painting?
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
Will the colour look flat?
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Will the edges be cropped?
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Which size is right for my wall?
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
How long does it take?
Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.
What if it arrives damaged?
Send us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
