Mary Cassatt at the Louvre: The Etruscan Gallery 1879 - 1880

"Mary Cassatt at the Louvre: The Etruscan Gallery" is an 1879-1880 etching by Edgar Degas that depicts a scene inside the Louvre Museum, featuring American Impressionist painter Mary Cassatt, viewed from the back, as she examines Etruscan artifacts in the museum's Etruscan Gallery. The artwork is a characteristic example of Degas's skill in capturing candid moments of his subjects, reflecting his interest in the Impressionist movement. The loose brushwork and use of charcoal are typical of his style.
