Mary Cassatt's portraits of women and children are notable for their intimate and nuanced portrayal of maternal relationships and everyday life. Unlike many of her contemporaries, she focused on the private sphere, celebrating the bond between mother and child, often capturing moments of tenderness and vulnerability. Her use of color, light, and composition enhances the emotional depth of these interactions, highlighting the strength and complexity of women's experiences. Cassatt's work not only elevated the subjects of women and children in art but also challenged traditional gender roles in the 19th century.
