The Balcony is an 1868 oil painting by the French painter Édouard Manet. It depicts four figures. On the left is Berthe Morisot, who married Manet's brother Eugène in 1874. In the centre is the painter Jean Baptiste Antoine Guillemet. On the right is Fanny Claus, a violinist. The fourth figure, partially obscured in the interior's background, is possibly Leon Leenhoff, Manet's son. Exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1869, the painting was bought by Gustave Caillebotte in 1884. It is currently kept at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.Painting: Édouard Manet
