A Portrait of the Artist's Mother

Mary Cassatt, c. 1889–1890

This print shows an elderly woman seated, slightly angled to the left, with her head resting on her hand. Her facial features are soft, and she has beige skin and her hair is gray and pulled back neatly. She is wearing a high-collared black dress and a light-colored shawl over her shoulders. The background is a muted brown with green and yellow floral decorations suggesting bouquets of green and yellow flowers placed on either side of her.
