Mary Cassatt was one of the few Americans and women to actively exhibit with the French Impressionists, championed by her friend Edgar Degas. This painting showcases her characteristic focus on the quiet, private moments of women and children in everyday environments. The intimate bond between the subject and her pet mirrors the tender observational style that defined much of Cassatt's celebrated body of work.
