More about this artwork

"Portrait of a Man" by Mary Cassatt depicts a middle-aged gentleman seated in a relaxed, yet dignified posture. He is well-dressed in a formal, dark suit with a white shirt visible at the collar, suggesting a sense of professionalism or formal occasion. The sitter's expression is thoughtful and serene, with a slight hint of a smile, which adds a gentle warmth to his demeanor. His hair and beard are neatly groomed, and his eyes hold a direct, engaging gaze that connects with the viewer.Cassatt's brushwork is visible and lends a texture to the painting, particularly noticeable in the lively, varied strokes in the background and in the detailing of the gentleman’s suit. The background is rendered in soft, muted blue and gray tones that complement the darker hues of his attire, focusing the viewer’s attention on the sitter himself.The pastel medium employed by Cassatt here allows for a subtle interplay of color and light, adding depth and vibrancy to the portrait. The brush strokes are loose and expressive, characteristic of Cassatt’s style, which blend Impressionist influences with her personal artistic intuition.

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.
