Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) was an American Impressionist painter known for her remarkable contributions to the art world, particularly in the realm of portraiture and depictions of motherhood. Born in Pennsylvania, she defied societal norms of her time to pursue her artistic ambitions.

Cassatt's art is characterized by her ability to capture intimate moments in everyday life, often focusing on the bond between mothers and children. Her work is celebrated for its use of color, light, and a keen understanding of human emotion.

Cassatt's close association with the French Impressionist movement, particularly Edgar Degas, greatly influenced her style. Her paintings, such as "The Child's Bath" and "The Boating Party," exemplify her mastery of Impressionist techniques.
