Girl in the Garden 1880 - 1882

"Girl in the Garden," painted between 1880 and 1882 by American artist Mary Cassatt, portrays a young woman seated in a garden, meticulously working on some kind of needlepoint. The work is characteristic of Cassatt's Impressionist style, with loose brushstrokes and an emphasis on light and color. The soft hues of the painting create a peaceful atmosphere, while the focus on the woman's hands and the details of her task suggest a sense of quiet concentration. Cassatt, known for her depictions of women in domestic settings, captured the intimate moments of everyday life in this piece.
