About
Manet based this lithograph and the related composition in silhouette (at left) on a photograph of Berthe Morisot with a Bouquet of Violets (also on view in this gallery). None of the prints based on this portrait were printed in a commercial edition during Manet’s lifetime. Their original purpose was personal and private.
