Mother Combing Sara’s Hair c. 1905 - 1915

This pastel drawing titled "Mother Combing Sara’s Hair," was created by American artist Mary Cassatt between 1905-1915. Cassatt was a prominent Impressionist painter known for her depictions of mothers and children, particularly in domestic settings. The soft, pastel hues and the intimate portrayal of a mother tending to her daughter's hair capture the tenderness and love within a family. Cassatt's work challenged traditional art genres by focusing on women's lives and celebrating the everyday moments of motherhood, often in a way that was considered unconventional for the time.
