Mary Cassatt shows Children on the Shore…
July 1886 CE
Mary Cassatt shows Children on the Shore (1884-86; National Gallery of Art, Washington) at the last Impressionist exhibition.
While this seaside subject is unique in her oeuvre, the close-up focus on the pair of toddlers and the firm draftsmanship are typical of the artist's style in the 1880s.
Her paintings of 1886 include Child in a Straw Hat (Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon, National gallery of Art, Washington) and Girl Arranging Her Hair (1886, Chester Dale Collection, National Gallery of Art, Washington).
