More about this artwork

Mary Cassatt's enchanting pastel work, "Girl in a Hat with a Black Ribbon," painted around 1901-02, captures a delicate moment of childlike innocence and elegance. This masterpiece brings to life the artist's celebrated skill in portraying intimate, everyday moments and her sensitive observation of children.This piece features a young girl gazing directly at the viewer, an expression of subtle curiosity and serenity on her visage. Her large, striking hat, adorned with a bold black ribbon, frames her slightly flushed cheeks and golden hair, emanating both style and playful charm. The choice of a soft pastel palette enhances the tender age of the girl and adds a dreamlike quality to the composition.Cassatt’s use of swift, dynamic strokes in the background contrasts beautifully with the detailed, gentle rendering of the girl’s features. This technique not only draws the viewer's focus to her face but also invokes a sense of liveliness surrounding the tranquility of her expression.Displayed in this painting are themes typical of Cassatt’s work: the beauty of everyday life and the special, often overlooked moments of childhood.

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.
