Little Girl with a Japanese Doll 1892

Mary Cassatt's "Little Girl with a Japanese Doll" (1892) captures the innocence of childhood with a soft, Impressionistic style. The young girl, dressed in a flowing white dress and a large hat, holds a Japanese doll, suggesting the growing influence of Asian art and culture on Western artistic movements. Cassatt's use of soft, muted colors and loose brushstrokes creates a sense of warmth and intimacy, reflecting the artist's focus on the everyday experiences of women and children.
