More about this artwork

"The Parrot" by Mary Cassatt is a beautifully detailed etching portraying an intimate moment between a woman and a parrot. In the piece, the woman is seated, dressed in a modest, dark garment that contrasts with the light, almost delicate form of the parrot perched gently on her hand. She gazes at the parrot with a demeanor of tender attention and gentle curiosity, capturing a quiet moment of connection between human and bird.The composition centers on the interaction and closeness between the two, emphasized by Cassatt's skillful handling of line and texture which brings out the softness of the parrot's feathers and the contemplative expression of the woman. The fine lines of the etching lend a soft, almost tactile quality to the image, enhancing the sense of a fleeting, tender moment being shared. This artwork reflects Cassatt's talent for depicting serene, introspective scenes that invite viewers into a world of private emotion and gentle interaction.

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.
