More about this artwork

"Girl Arranging Her Hair" by Mary Cassatt, painted in 1886, captures a moment of serene beauty in everyday life. In this artwork, we see a young woman with a gentle expression, engrossed in the act of arranging her long, braided hair. She is dressed in a light, flowing white garment that enhances the sense of purity and simplicity, illustrating Cassatt's skill in portraying the delicate textures of fabric.The setting is intimate and domestic—a glimpse into private life, with a floral-patterned background and a washbasin with a pitcher resting on a wooden dresser, suggestive of a bedroom or a private chamber. The composition and the subtle interplay of colors convey a sense of calm and introspection.Cassatt's impressionist style is evident in her loose, expressive brush strokes and the soft, diffuse light that bathes the scene, highlighting the reddish hues of the young woman's hair and the blush on her cheeks.

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.
