Story

A woman is seen from the side, dressed in dark clothing with a red hat, a patterned shawl draped over her shoulders, set against a plain green backdrop. The piece is rendered in oil on canvas, completed in 1880 by Mary Cassatt (1844–1926), an American painter associated with Impressionism. She also worked as an etcher and photographer, and her notable paintings include Little Girl in a Blue Armchair.
