Reine Leaning over Margot's Shoulder
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pastel portrait by the renowned American artist Mary Cassatt. The artwork, measuring 68.5 x 57.1 cm, showcases Cassatt's mastery of impressionistic techniques and her ability to capture intimate moments with great sensitivity. In this piece, we see Reine, a young girl with beautiful brown hair, sitting in front of us. Her head and shoulders are turned slightly towards the left as she focuses on something off-camera. Behind her stands Margot, presumably her mother or an older sister, leaning over protectively to observe what has captured Reine's attention. Cassatt skillfully uses soft pastels on tan paper laid down on paper to create a warm and tender atmosphere that enhances the maternal bond between these two figures. The artist's choice of colors adds depth and dimension to their features while also highlighting their youthful vitality. The composition invites viewers into an intimate moment shared between mother (or sister) and child – a timeless scene that resonates with universal themes of love, protection, and guidance. Through her delicate brushstrokes and careful attention to detail, Cassatt captures not only the physical likeness but also the emotional connection between these two individuals. This remarkable artwork exemplifies Cassatt's contribution to American Impressionism as well as her unique ability to depict everyday scenes with profound beauty and grace. It serves as a testament to both the artist's talent and her deep understanding of human relationships within domestic settings.
