More about this artwork

This painting by Mary Cassatt, titled "Peasant Mother and Child," is a tender depiction of a maternal scene. It features a mother and her young child in a sincere, intimate moment. The mother, dressed in a rustic, deep green dress with a sophisticated texture, holds her child closely. Her attention seems focused on the child, who wears a simple, yellow garment and looks out towards the viewer with a curious expression.The use of color in this painting is gentle yet pronounced, with the subdued background helping to enhance the figures in the foreground. Cassatt's brushwork provides a softness that is typical of her style, evoking a sense of warmth and domestic comfort. The composition and the closeness of the figures emphasize the bond between mother and child, a recurrent theme in Cassatt’s work that reflects her interest in the everyday lives and intimate moments of women and children. This painting could be seen as a celebration of motherhood, portraying the beauty and serenity of everyday familial interactions.

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.
