Mary Cassatt
(American, 1844-1926)
Nursing, 1890
Drypoint
A native of Philadelphia, Mary Cassatt spent the majority of her career
abroad in the company of the artists of the French Impressionist circle.
A close friend of Edgar Degas, Cassatt was instrumental in exposing American
audiences to the work of the Impressionists. Cassatt’s interest in the
subject of women, children, and the natural bond between them, is captured
in her paintings as well as her prints. The drypoint, Nursing, offers
a characteristic example of the subject matter and printmaking mastery
of Mary Cassatt.
