Object Description
Cassatt most likely executed this painting as she prepared for her debut with the impressionists at the group’s fourth exhibition, held in Paris in 1879. She was experimental and was fascinated with both natural and artificial light, radical foreshortening, the seemingly arbitrary cropping of silhouetted figures, matte surfaces, and the sketchy deployment of dry pigments (such as distemper and pastel), placing her at the vanguard of modern art.
