This girl studies Manet's "Balcony" where the artist used his brother Eugene and a fellow artist, Berthe Morisot (lower left) as models.
Morisot is a famous Impressionist woman artist and became one of Manet's favorite models.
The scene of ordinary people in everyday situations was a favorite subject of the Impressionists.
Manet didn't exhibit with the Impressionists, but was somewhat of a "mentor" to this younger group of artists emerging at the time.
