Painting Description
"Profile Portrait of Lydia Cassatt" is an exquisite artwork by the renowned American Impressionist painter, Mary Cassatt. Created between 1880 - 1882, the masterpiece showcases the artist's sister, Lydia Cassatt, who served as her muse for multiple artworks. As implied by the title, the painting captures a profile view of Lydia, placing emphasis on the contours and delicate features of her face. The artwork stands as an emblematic instance of Cassatt's distinctive style that often centred on women in intimate settings.
Rendered with strokes that fluidly render the careful observation of her subject, the portrait eloquently divulges the depth of feeling Cassatt held for her sister. Notably, Mary Cassatt's endeavours to capture Lydia's likeness coincide with Lydia's diagnosis with Bright's disease, a chronic kidney disorder, which eventually took her life in 1882. Thus, the series of portraits featuring Lydia, including this profile, are often interpreted as emotional mementoes created amidst Lydia's deteriorating health condition.
Style-wise, "Profile Portrait of Lydia Cassatt" conforms to the aesthetic sensibilities of the Impressionist movement. The painting does not covet photographic precision or intense chiaroscuro, but rather values the brevity and variability of visual perception, bespeaking Cassatt's fascination with light and color. It comprises a relatively subdued color palette, with deliberate contours and sublimated details that aptly capture the emotional resonance of her subjects. The private moment of Lydia, as indulged in her silent soliloquy, mirrors Cassatt's continued exploration of feminine themes in domestic spheres.
In summation, "Profile Portrait of Lydia Cassatt" serves not only as an artistic testament of Cassatt's technical proficiency and stylistic maturation, but it also stands as a poignant tribute to her beloved sister Lydia—a testament to their close-knit relationship and a tangible result of the emotionally charged period during Lydia's illness.
