Mary Cassatt (American, 1844-1926)

Although Mary Cassatt's color intaglios owe an enormous debt to Japanese prints, she also emulated the traits she admired in Degas: a special feeling for light and color, strong draftsmanship, and a carefully wrought composition that nevertheless appears to be a casual moment from daily life.
