The Fitting

Mary Cassatt, 1890–1891

The image shows three women from the waist up. The central woman is facing slightly to the side, with short, dark hair and a calm expression. She wears a long, striped dress with puffy sleeves. Next to her, another woman is seen from the back, looking into a mirror, dressed similarly. Below them, another woman's head is visible, turned away, wearing dark clothing with stripes. The background includes a patterned wallpaper with floral motifs and a decorative carpet.
