About the piece
Painted around 1884, this portrait by Edgar Degas depicts his friend and fellow artist, Mary Cassatt. Eschewing the formality of traditional portraiture, Degas captures Cassatt in a moment of active concentration, leaning forward with her hands full of cards or photographs, highlighting her sharp intellect and unconventional spirit through a moody and sophisticated palette.
