Default painting identification

This has been bothering me for a while, and I've finally decided to track it down. My English teacher 6 years ago had this picture hanging on the wall. I wrote a poem about it, and was able to track down the painting at last, through much googling, but can't find out the title/artist. Does anyone know?

Berthe Morisot - The Mother and Sister of the Artist - 1869-70.The National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, USA.

This work was prepared for the Salon. She asked Manet to come to her studio to give a criticism. He was delighted with the picture, but suggested a few changes and then seized the brush and spent the afternoon retouching it. While Manet was working, the van to take the picture to the Salon arrived, and Bertha Morisot, though she was angry, could do nothing but send the painting as it was.
