    Jeanne Fourmanoir sur le lac (1892)

    Berthe Morisot (French, 1841–1895)

    A woman reclines in a rowboat, her dress pooling around her as sunlight dances on the lake’s surface. The water holds her reflection loosely, like a thought about to slip away. Oars rest idle—no hurry, no destination. Just the quiet ripple of time passing.
