Mary Cassatt, an American artist, was a crucial figure in the Impressionist movement, renowned for her depictions of the private and public lives of women, often focusing on children. While living in France, she was invited by Edgar Degas to exhibit with the Impressionists, making her one of the few American artists to join the group. This work, with its soft light and intimate subject, captures the tender connection between a child and her pet, a recurring theme in Cassatt's oeuvre.
