Take in the sunshine of Paris's Bois de Boulogne with Berthe Morisot's 'Summer's Day'. The Impressionist artist uses distinctive zig-zag brushstrokes and an extraordinary interplay of light and colour.

Summer days messing around in boats are just what Morisot captures in her wonderful painting of two women enjoying an outing in the park. But just who are the two women in the boat on the lake? Sterre Overmars, Harry M Weinrebe Curatorial Fellow, answers this question and more.
