Head of a Young Girl 1876

"Head of a Young Girl" is a portrait painted in 1876 by American Impressionist Mary Cassatt. Known for her depictions of women and children, Cassatt captures the delicate features of a young girl with loose brushstrokes and warm color tones. The painting's loose, expressive style reflects Cassatt's affinity for the Impressionist movement, with a focus on capturing a fleeting moment. While the background is blurred and undefined, the subject's expression, captured with soft brushstrokes and delicate details, remains the central focus.
