## Commentary

Seated in the foreground is Berthe Morisot. She is the unrivalled star, Manet having flattened the other characters in the background. Beside her is the violinist Fanny Claus, their friend the landscape artist Antoine Guillemet, and, barely visible in the background, Manet&#39;s son Léon.
