This painting had a theft proof acrylic box around and over it, there were museum ropes to keep people away from it. This full length portrait was a turning point for Morisot, one of her most famous works. She dressed the model in her own black velvet evening gown and when she painted her she added the opera glasses and yellow roses strewn across the dress. It is a stunning Impressionist painting. She was an incredible artist.
Great painting
