    A Woman Seated at a Bench on the Avenue du Bois (1885)

    Berthe Morisot (French, 1841–1895)

    A woman in a flowing dress sits alone on a bench, dappled sunlight filtering through the trees. The broad avenue stretches behind her, alive with the blur of passing carriages and distant strollers. Her stillness anchors the scene, a quiet figure amid the bustling Parisian promenade.
