Mother and child 1898

Mary Cassatt's "Mother and Child" (1898) is a tender depiction of a mother and her young child, perhaps a son, standing before a mirror. Cassatt, known for her paintings of mothers and children, captures the intimate bond between them through the soft brushstrokes and warm colors. The subject matter, typical of Cassatt's work, is both visually engaging and emotionally resonant, showcasing her contribution to the Impressionist movement. This painting reflects Cassatt's focus on capturing everyday moments of domesticity with a unique blend of realism and Impressionist sensibility.
