About the piece
Painted around 1885 by Jacques-Émile Blanche, this evocative portrait depicts the American painter Mary Cassatt in a sophisticated Parisian interior. The work showcases the artist's masterful use of deep, shadowy tones contrasted with subtle highlights on the subject’s face and the room's ornate furnishings, epitomizing the refined elegance of late 19th-century European portraiture.
