Lydia Crocheting in the Garden at Marly 1880

Mary Cassatt's "Lydia Crocheting in the Garden at Marly" (1880) showcases the Impressionist style with loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the fleeting moment. The painting depicts a woman in a garden, leisurely crocheting, her form almost melting into the vibrant greenery and sun-drenched atmosphere. This intimate scene, characteristic of Cassatt's work, highlights the everyday lives of women, capturing their quiet moments of contemplation and domesticity. The painting is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
