A Tender Portrait in Pastel, Defining Modern Motherhood

This fine art print features "Madame Gaillard & Her Daughter Marie-Thérèse" (1897), a significant work by the American Impressionist master, Mary Cassatt (1844–1926). Cassatt, the only American artist to officially join the French Impressionist movement, devoted her career to depicting the private, intimate lives of women, with a particular focus on the unique and unsentimental bond between mothers and children.

Artistic Significance and Visual Details

  • The Medium of Pastel: This piece showcases Cassatt's masterful technique with pastel on paper, a dry medium favored by the Impressionists for its ability to capture spontaneity, vibrant color, and the scintillating effects of light. Cassatt applied the pastel in thick, visible strokes, blending and layering color to achieve a rich, luminous texture that gives the figures a robust, three-dimensional quality.

  • Subject and Provenance: The portrait depicts Madame Gaillard and her daughter, Marie-Thérèse. The family were known to Cassatt through her friend and mentor, Edgar Degas, as Dr. Theodore Gaillard was an early patron of the French Impressionists.

  • Theme of Modern Motherhood: Unlike traditional, idealized, or religious depictions of the Madonna and Child, Cassatt’s works present a modern, honest, and intimate portrait of the mother-child relationship. In this work, the mother's gentle, protective pose and the relaxed connection with her child achieve an aura of elemental dignity, capturing a moment of quiet, contemporary domesticity.

  • Composition: The figures are presented close-up, filling the frame and focusing the viewer's attention entirely on the physical and emotional connection between the pair. This composition, a common feature in Cassatt's work, emphasizes the profound intimacy of the moment.

  • Current Location: The original artwork is housed in the collection of the Reynolda House Museum of American Art, Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

An Essential Piece for Collectors

"Madame Gaillard & Her Daughter Marie-Thérèse" is a celebrated example of Mary Cassatt's contribution to Impressionism and her defining role in shaping the representation of women and children in art. It is an exquisite and emotionally resonant addition to any collection.
