More about this artwork

"Mother’s Kiss" by Mary Cassatt is a poignant representation of the intimate bond between a mother and her child. In this image, we see the delicate and caring embrace of a mother as she tenderly kisses her young child on the lips. The child, in return, wraps his small arms around her, reciprocating the affection in a pure, heartfelt moment.The drawing is executed with gentle, fine lines that expertly capture the subtle contours of their faces and the texture of the mother's hair. The use of minimal color focuses attention on the subjects themselves, emphasizing the emotional impact of the scene. The light floral pattern on the mother's dress adds a touch of softness and femininity to the composition.This artwork reflects Cassatt's celebrated ability to convey the everyday moments of family life, and particularly the unique relationship between mothers and their children, with both tenderness and depth. Her work remains a profound celebration of womanhood and the familial bonds that define so much of human experience.

Mary Stevenson Cassatt was an American painter and printmaker. She was born in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania (now part of Pittsburgh’s North Side), but lived much of her adult life in France where she befriended Edgar Degas and exhibited with the Impressionists. Cassatt often created images of the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bonds between mothers and children.

She was described by Gustave Geffroy as one of "les trois grandes dames" (the three great ladies) of Impressionism alongside Marie Bracquemond and Berthe Morisot.In 1879, Diego Martelli compared her to Degas, as they both sought to depict movement, light, and design in the most modern sense.
