Mary Cassatt at the Louvre: The Etruscan Gallery 1879 - 1880

This lithograph by Edgar Degas, titled *Mary Cassatt at the Louvre: The Etruscan Gallery*, depicts American Impressionist painter Mary Cassatt seated in the Louvre museum, looking at a book. The composition captures the back of a second figure, perhaps Degas himself, standing before a glass case, and a glimpse of artwork displayed within. Degas's work is known for its focus on everyday life, particularly women, and this piece exemplifies that theme. The monotype's loose lines and muted tones evoke the atmosphere of the museum.
