1887. Pierre-Auguste Renoir signed this delicate portrait for the couple Berthe Morisot and Eugène Manet, brother of Édouard Manet. There, sitting quietly, her cat on her lap, their daughter Julie captures all the lights. It took a few preparatory drawings and several installation sessions for the master to finally complete this masterpiece. Tender tones, purring cat, porcelain complexion... Edgar Degas exclaimed in front of the painting: “By making round figures, Renoir made flower pots!” ". Renoir here gives the child the features of a young woman, pink lips, elegant, serene, almost maternal posture. Far from being involuntary, the roundness of the face brings its model back to the sweetness of childhood.
