Julie Manet — Storia e analisi

La giovane Julie Manet è seduta con un gatto tigrato in grembo, davanti a una carta da parati a motivi. La pittrice Berthe Morisot e suo marito, Eugène Manet, fratello di Édouard Manet, commissionarono questo ritratto di loro figlia al loro amico Pierre-Auguste Renoir nel 1887; è anche conosciuto come Bambina con Gatto. Julie ricordò in seguito che Renoir lo dipinse “in piccole sezioni, che non era il suo modo abituale di lavorare”, e realizzò almeno quattro disegni preparatori prima di decidere la posa. Degas non rimase colpito dal volto rotondo della modella, ma a Morisot piaceva particolarmente questa fase precisa e basata sulle linee del lavoro di Renoir. Si trova al Musée d'Orsay a Parigi.
