Young Mother Sewing by Mary Cassatt

Young Mother Sewing (1900)

Mary Cassatt | Impressionism | Oil on canvas

A mother concentrates on her sewing while her little girl, in a white dress, leans comfortably on her lap and looks right out at you. The warm colors and cozy feeling make you want to curl up next to them!

Did you know? Cassatt painted many mother-and-child scenes, but the two in this picture were not a real family. She hired two unrelated models and painted them as if they belonged together!
