More about this artwork

This painting, "Peasant Mother and Child" by Mary Cassatt, depicts a tender and intimate moment between a mother and her child. The mother, seen in profile and dressed in a green garment with stripes, holds her child close to her. She appears thoughtful or contemplative, perhaps focusing on the child or lost in her own thoughts. The child, wearing a plain green outfit that contrasts softly with the mother's darker and striped attire, looks out towards the viewer with a curious and innocent expression. The use of color and brushwork enhances the sense of closeness and maternal affection.The background is simple and nondescript, rendered in a soft, dark tone that helps focus the viewer’s attention on the figures. Cassatt's work often centers on the social and private lives of women, with special emphasis on the bonds between mothers and children, capturing these everyday moments with a profound sense of emotion and dignity. This painting is a beautiful example of her ability to convey complex human feelings through simple, everyday scenes.

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.
