| Mary Cassatt is a U.S. born painter of the
French Impressionist school. Mary Cassatt studied in Paris, where she settled and became a
disciple of Degas. Her finest paintings were studies of mother and child, scrupulously
firm and unsentimental, e.g. The Bath, Mother and Child, and her studies of everyday life
in dry point and aquatint have recently received recognition. Young Woman Sewing is a fine
example of her work in oil. Mary Cassatt made an exquisite series of colour prints under
Japanese influence.
