Children in a Garden
The Nurse
Mary Cassatt captures a quiet, sun-dappled moment in a lush garden, where a nurse tends to a baby in a pram while a toddler plays nearby. As a leading American Impressionist, Cassatt was famous for her intimate portraits of women and children, often painting from her own life and observations. She was actually invited by Edgar Degas to join the French Impressionists, making her one of the few Americans in that exclusive club! The loose, vibrant brushstrokes make the foliage feel alive and buzzing with summer energy.
