Mother and Children 1901

"Mother and Children" (1901) by Mary Cassatt depicts a tender moment between a mother and her two children. This pastel work, known for its soft, muted colors, captures the intimate relationship between family members. Cassatt's focus on domestic scenes and the lives of women, particularly mothers, contributed significantly to the Impressionist movement. This painting exemplifies her characteristic style, characterized by delicate brushstrokes and a sensitive portrayal of everyday life.
