A

lisa pose,
but without the
smile
Woman with a Pearl
By Corot

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.
