The Lamp 1890 - 1891

"The Lamp" is a color lithograph by American artist Mary Cassatt, created between 1890 and 1891. The print depicts a woman reclining in a chair, her gaze directed towards a lamp on a table in the foreground. Cassatt is known for her depictions of women in domestic settings, often focusing on their intimate moments and relationships. This artwork, like many of Cassatt's prints, showcases the influence of Japanese art on her style, particularly in the use of flat planes of color and simplified forms. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
