EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned American impressionist painter, Mary Cassatt, at the Louvre in 1879-80. Standing in the Etruscan Gallery, she is depicted from behind, her figure exuding grace and poise. The soft-ground etching and drypoint technique used by Edgar Degas beautifully brings out the intricate details of this artwork on laid paper. Mary Stevenson Cassatt was not only an accomplished artist but also a close friend of Degas himself. This connection between two influential figures of French impressionism adds depth to the significance of this piece. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of artistic inspiration within one of the world's most prestigious art galleries. The composition highlights Cassatt's contemplative stance as she gazes upon masterpieces that surround her. Her umbrella rests gently against her side, suggesting that she may have just arrived or is preparing to leave after immersing herself in these hallowed halls filled with timeless creations. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into Cassatt's role as both an observer and participant in the vibrant art scene of Paris during this period. It serves as a testament to her dedication and passion for painting while paying homage to her significant contributions to American Impressionism. Displayed proudly at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA, this print invites us into a world where artistry intertwines with history and beauty knows no bounds.
