More about this artwork

This painting titled "Alexander J. Cassatt" was created by the American artist Mary Cassatt, who is renowned for her intimate depictions of family and personal life. The subject of this painting is Alexander J. Cassatt, her brother, who appears here as a distinguished gentleman deeply absorbed in his reading.In this work, Alexander is depicted seated, slightly turned away from the viewer, his attention focused on papers in front of him. He is dressed in a formal dark suit, and his posture and expression convey a sense of quiet concentration and seriousness. The background features blurred hints of an indoor setting, possibly a study or an office, which complements the introspective mood of the figure.Mary Cassatt's brushwork is evident in the loose and expressive strokes that give texture to the surroundings and detail to Alexander's features, especially his face and hands. The use of light and shadow subtly highlights his profile and the movement of his hands, enhancing the overall contemplative atmosphere of the painting.Overall, this painting not only captures the likeness of Alexander J. Cassatt but also subtly reflects his character and the environment in which he was situated, showcasing Mary Cassatt’s skill in portraiture and her ability to convey deep personal connections through her 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.
