More about this artwork

Titled "Children Playing with a Cat," this inviting painting by Mary Cassatt captures a tender family scene filled with warmth and everyday charm. The composition features a young child in a bright yellow dress, gently reaching towards a plump gray cat lounging comfortably in the lap of an older girl adorned in a soft teal dress with a floral hat. By their side, a woman, possibly their mother, looks on with a serene expression, her attention seemingly absorbed by the gentle interaction between the child and the pet.The mastery of Cassatt in portraying domestic life and the subtle dynamics of family interactions is evident in this painting. Her use of soft, diffused light and vibrant colors enhances the sense of a loving, intimate moment shared between the siblings and their pet. A blue vase in the background adds a pop of color, further enriching the visual texture of the scene.This artwork is a perfect representation of Cassatt's focus on themes of motherhood, childhood, and femininity, offering viewers a glimpse into the quiet, yet profoundly beautiful moments of everyday life.

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.
