Vignette-First Among Equals

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 her name Note Berthe (1841-1895) married Edouard Manet's brother,becoming one of the few noted female Impressionists of her era. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berthe_Morisot

A wonderful tribute to an amazing artist so many here would not be aware of if not for your poem. I was going to pick a favorite (The Cradle) at first, but there are too many other ones that are simply outstanding. Love, Shar
