Young Woman at Rest

Berthe Morisot

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a small black and white drawing of a woman, titled "Young Woman at Rest" by Berthe Morisot. The woman has long dark hair and wears a light-colored dress with a low neckline. She reclines on her side, propped on one elbow, with her head resting on her hand. Her body faces left; her head is turned toward the viewer. The drawing is centered within a rectangular recess in a piece of off-white paper, which has a rough, textured surface and rough edges. The paper appears to be mounted on a slightly larger piece of off-white paper with a smooth surface and straight edges. The background behind the paper is gray. The drawing is rendered in dark and light shades of gray.
