More about this artwork

This painting, "Mother and Child" by Mary Cassatt, portrays an intimate and tender moment between a mother and her child. The artwork, rendered in a soft pastel medium, captures the warmth and closeness of their relationship. The mother, dressed in a light white garment with a traditional headscarf, holds her young child close to her chest. The child appears naked, emphasizing vulnerability and innocence, and gazes outward with a curious expression.Cassatt's use of vibrant colors and loose brushwork enhances the sense of emotional depth and immediacy in the scene. The background, composed of greens and blues, is painted in broad, impressionistic strokes that focus attention on the figures. This painting is an excellent example of Cassatt’s ability to convey the delicate nuances of familial bonds, a central theme in her work which reflects her significant role in the Impressionist movement, primarily focusing on the private lives of women and the intimate bonds between mothers and children.

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.
