Mother in Purple Holding her Child, c. 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pastel drawing by renowned American artist Mary Cassatt. The intimate portrait showcases a tender moment between a mother and her child, capturing the essence of maternal love and care. In this early twentieth-century artwork, Cassatt's impressionistic style shines through as she skillfully depicts the bond between mother and child. The mother, with her brown hair elegantly styled, gazes lovingly at her mischievous-looking child who seems to be looking away playfully. The purple attire worn by the mother adds a touch of vibrancy to the composition. Cassatt's mastery of pastel on buff paper brings out the softness and warmth in both figures' features. The gentle strokes create an ethereal atmosphere that enhances the emotional connection portrayed within the piece. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this work: from the intricate clothing folds to the delicate expressions on their faces. It is clear that Cassatt wanted to capture not only their physical appearance but also their emotional state - conveying affection, mischief, and perhaps even some cheekiness. This beautiful portrayal of motherhood stands as a testament to Mary Cassatt's talent as an impressionist artist. Through this artwork, she invites viewers into an intimate moment shared between parent and child - reminding us all of the timeless bond that exists within families throughout history.
