More about this artwork

This tender depiction by Mary Cassatt, known as "Mother Playing with Child," is an evocative portrayal of maternal affection and joy. Cassatt masterfully uses pastel tones and soft brush strokes to create a luminous and intimate scene. The focus of the painting is on the interaction between a mother and her young child. The mother, dressed in a flowing blue outfit, leans towards the child, watching closely and attentively as the child, clothed in a white dress, engages with a small object in her hands.The background is a blurred mix of greenery, suggesting an outdoor setting which complements the serene and nurturing moment shared between the two. Cassatt's use of color accentuates the warmth of the interaction, and the children's small, intricate movements are depicted with a sense of delicate realism. Mary Cassatt often explored themes of motherhood and children in her work, capturing the beauty and complexity of familial relationships with sensitivity and depth. This painting is a beautiful example of her ability to convey profound human emotions through art.

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.
