Passed on to me by Neville (ulangariver)--From Art.com:-

"Raised in an affluent family, Mary Cassatt (1844 – 1926) was one of the few 19th-century American women to become a professional artist in an era when wealthy women did not typically pursue a career. Cassatt studied in the United States, but spent most of her life in France. Mesmerized by the pastel work of Edgar Degas, she found it life-changing as she became an influential Impressionist. Children and motherhood were her principal subjects, skilfully painted with simplicity, vigorous brushwork and luminescent color. Cassatt's art is displayed in many private and public collections, including New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and Washington, D.C.’s National Gallery."

Yes it does, Dusty, and mending is something that could be a chore for some. I wonder what percentage of people mend anymore. Just the other day I wondered about that extra button that might be sewn of an inside seam of a shirt, in case you lose one. I bet most people never take advantage of that extra button, even if they do lose a button.

Yes, Bill, it is impressive and thanks for reminding us of her extraordinary talent while facing challenges.

Leanne, her skin color reminds me of Renoir.

Not sure why, but this piece gives one the impression that the woman is serene and happy with her mending....

The woman's face has the luminescent colour mentioned in your description of her.

There's truth in that, Gayle. And this is an impressive painting for a woman who was almost blind. Thanks!
