Berthe Morisot by Manet

Edouard Manet painted his sister-in-law Berthe Morisot more than once. In this portrait “Le Repose” he shows his evident affection for her. I think the speculation that Berthe and Edouard may have enjoyed more than romantic feelings is obvious.

Who knows more about this relationship ?
