The artwork titled “Bust of Alice Gamby” is an oil on canvas painted by artist Berthe Morisot in 1890. This portrait is executed in the Impressionism style and belongs to the portrait genre. Currently, the artwork is held in a private collection. Berthe Morisot, a French painter, was one of the pioneering figures in the Impressionist movement.
The painting features a young woman, presumably Alice Gamby, with her face turned slightly towards the viewer. The subject’s complexion is softly rendered, representing the delicate play of light typical of Impressionist works. Light brushstrokes in various hues capture the texture and translucency of her attire. The background appears to be a simple and loosely painted dark green foliage, providing a natural contrast to the light and nuanced colors of her clothing and skin. Morisot’s signature is visible in the lower right corner. The overall effect is one of subdued elegance and presence, typical of Morisot’s sensitive approach to portraiture.
