Answer

Berthe Morisot, a fellow impressionist and Manet's brother-in-law, was Manet's most admired contemporary artist. Morisot's influence can be seen in Manet's later works, particularly in his use of light and color. Morisot's paintings are characterized by their light brushstrokes and focus on domestic scenes, capturing the essence of everyday life. Her artistic contributions greatly impacted the development of impressionism and left a lasting legacy in the art world.
