FEMALE ARTISTS SERIES morisot

A debutante was Berthe Morisot
But her mother loved her a lot
So a pupil of Corot she became
And marrying a Manet 
brought her more fame


With genre painting she made 

Berthe Morisot looking at you
the inner woman comes into view
An artist herself- an equivalent
with feelings so ambivalent

Manet's painting of Morisot*
sister-in-law not his beaux
Reclining in an inviting pose
herself an impressionist some chose
