Frame of the Week

• "The Cradle" was painted during a particularly happy and productive period in Morisot's life, as she had recently given birth to her first child, Julie, who is depicted in the painting.

• The painting is a tender and intimate portrait of a mother and child, and it captures the soft, dappled light of a sunny day filtering through a curtain onto the infant's cradle.

• The painting is notable for its composition, which features a diagonal line that runs from the upper left corner to the lower right corner, leading the viewer's eye from the mother's face to the baby's cradle.
