La Leçon de dessin (Berthe Morisot et sa fille Julie Manet)

Berthe Morisot, 1889, tiré en 1921

The artwork is an etching showing two individuals from the waist up, seated closely together. They are positioned side by side, with the figure on the left slightly behind the one on the right. Both figures have their attention focused on an object they are holding. The figure on the left has short hair and wears a high-necked garment, while the figure on the right has slightly longer hair and wears similar clothing with long sleeves. The setting is indoors, with faint outlines suggesting furniture or decor in the background. The lines are soft and sketch-like.
