The seamstress Sun 

Berthe Morisot created this drawing titled "The Seamstress" using graphite, capturing a scene dominated by soft light and gentle forms. The composition features two seated figures, their attention focused downwards in quiet concentration. The delicate lines and shading create a sense of intimacy and calm. Morisot uses line and form to explore the roles and spaces occupied by women in her time. The texture of the cloth they are working on is suggested through varying densities of lines, creating depth and volume. Light and shadow play across the figures, emphasizing their posture and the folds of their dresses, highlighting the tactile quality of their clothing. The choice of graphite allows for subtle gradations and a fluidity of line. The artwork invites us to reflect on the interplay between domesticity, labor, and the gaze, as Morisot offers a nuanced perspective on women engaged in their craft. Ultimately, the drawing becomes a study of form and expression, subtly challenging and broadening the representational space for women in art.
