Painting Description
"Self Portrait" by Mary Cassatt is a notable work by the American painter and printmaker, who is widely recognized for her contributions to the Impressionist movement. Created in 1878, this self-portrait is one of the few known self-depictions by Cassatt, offering a rare glimpse into how the artist viewed herself during a pivotal period in her career. The painting is executed in oil on canvas and measures approximately 23.5 x 18.5 inches (60 x 47 cm).
In this self-portrait, Cassatt presents herself with a direct and confident gaze, reflecting her assertive personality and determination to succeed in the male-dominated art world of the 19th century. She is depicted wearing a dark, modest dress with a high collar, which contrasts sharply with the lighter background, drawing attention to her face and expression. The brushwork is characteristic of the Impressionist style, with loose, fluid strokes that capture the nuances of light and shadow.
Cassatt's choice to create a self-portrait at this time is significant, as it coincides with her growing involvement with the Impressionist group in Paris. By 1878, she had already exhibited with the Impressionists and had formed close relationships with key figures such as Edgar Degas, who greatly influenced her work. This self-portrait not only serves as a personal statement of her identity as an artist but also aligns her with the avant-garde movement that sought to break away from traditional academic art.
The painting is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be an important piece for understanding Cassatt's artistic development and her role within the broader context of Impressionism. Through this self-portrait, viewers can appreciate Cassatt's technical skill, her innovative approach to portraiture, and her unwavering commitment to her craft.
