Quote of fr:Paul Mantz, in 'Gazette des Beaux-Arts', about the Salon of 1865; as cited in Berthe Morisot by Monique Angoulvent, Morance, Paris, 1933, p. 19-20.
• Two works each of the sisters Morisot were exhibited on the Paris Salon of 1865; the same Salon where Manet's painting 'Olympia' created much uproar, in and outside the Palais de l'Industrie
“

Since it is not necessary to have had a long training in draughtsmanship at the Academy to paint a copper pot, a candlestick and a bunch of radishes, women succeed quite well in this domestic type of painting. Miss Berthe Morisot brings to the task really a great deal of frankness with a delicate feeling for light and colour.

About Berthe Morisot

Berthe Marie Pauline Morisot (14 January, 1841 – 2 March, 1895) was a French painter and a member of the circle of painters in Paris who became known as the Impressionists. Undervalued for over a century, possibly because she was a woman, she is now considered among the first league of Impressionist painters.
