More about this artwork

This artwork by Mary Cassatt, titled "The Lamp," offers a soothing glimpse of a domestic scene filled with subtle elegance and warmth. The painting features a woman, viewed from behind and in profile, suggesting a private, introspective moment. She is seated, and her posture, along with the direction of her gaze, directed toward a light source not fully visible in the frame, evokes a calm and reflective ambiance.Central to the image is a large lamp with a decorative shade, creating a canopy over the scene. The lampshade is adorned with a floral pattern complementing the serene mood. Below the lamp is a nicely decorated table, contributing to the dignified and domestic setting typical of Cassatt's work, often focused on the private and intimate moments of women's lives.The artist's use of soft, harmonious colors and the detailed rendering of textures—including the translucent material of the woman’s dress and the intricately patterned fan in her hand—enhance the tranquility and beauty of the scene. This painting not only captures a moment of solitude but also highlights Cassatt’s skill in portraying the nuanced lives of women with grace and dignity.

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.
