About the piece

Painted in 1881, Mary Cassatt’s 'A Woman and a Girl Driving' depicts her sister Lydia and a young niece in a pony cart in the Bois de Boulogne. The composition is famously modern, using a tight crop to emphasize the psychology of the figures and the play of light through the trees, a hallmark of Cassatt's influential Impressionist style.
