Called one of the “grande dames” of impressionism, Berthe Morisot often painted domestic scenes of family, children, women, and flowers depicting life in the late-nineteenth century. The Morisot Tee features an elegant panel of lace in the center of the back (CHART ONLY). This tee is worked from the bottom up in two pieces. The side body detail wraps the armhole for an added bit of interest.
