The American-born Mary Cassatt was one of only a few women to have exhibited with the French impressionists. When she was 15, she began studying painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Later, she lived and worked in Paris, where she befriended Edgar Degas and drew inspiration from his painting style. This sketch was brought into the collection at the same time as Cassatt's Woman with Nude Boy at Her Right , which hangs in Room 17. Both works show a maternal figure gazing down at the young child in her arms—a common subject for Cassatt, who painted domestic scenes throughout her career.
