I guanti lunghi
1886
Mary Cassatt captures a quiet, intimate moment of a young woman with fiery red hair preparing for an outing. She is looking down, focused on the task of pulling on a long glove, her other arm raised in a graceful arc. The soft, scratchy texture of the pastel on brown paper gives the scene a warm, unfinished feel, typical of Impressionism. Cassatt, an American artist who exhibited with the French Impressionists, was famous for her tender portrayals of women's private lives, turning a mundane act like dressing into a study of light and form.
