Portrait Of The Artist 1878

"Portrait of the Artist" is a painting by American artist Mary Cassatt, created in 1878. It depicts a young woman in a white dress and a red hat, seated in a chair. The painting is characterized by its loose brushstrokes, vibrant colors, and impressionistic style. The work's intimate and introspective portrayal of a woman reflects Cassatt's interest in capturing the everyday lives of women, which made her a leading figure in Impressionism. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, "Portrait of the Artist" is a testament to Cassatt's skill and her unique vision of female identity.
