"Sketch for 'Francoise in a Round-Backed Chair, Reading' or 'A Girl in Pink' c.1908" is a notable work by the American painter Mary Cassatt, who was an integral figure in the Impressionist movement. This sketch is a preliminary study for a painting that captures the essence of Cassatt's interest in the private and social lives of women, with a particular focus on the intimate bond between children and their caregivers. Created around 1908, the sketch depicts a young girl named Francoise, who is absorbed in reading while seated in a round-backed chair. The use of light and shadow, as well as the relaxed posture of the figure, are characteristic of Cassatt's style, which often highlighted the grace and inner world of her subjects.

Mary Cassatt, born in 1844 in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, spent much of her adult life in France, where she developed her artistic style and became the only American woman to exhibit with the Impressionists. Her work frequently addressed the themes of the lives of women and the relationships of mothers and children, often portraying them in domestic settings. Cassatt's approach to composition, color, and light was influenced by her interactions with contemporaries like Edgar Degas and the study of old masters.

The sketch for "Francoise in a Round-Backed Chair, Reading" exemplifies Cassatt's skill in capturing the momentary and the everyday. The artwork serves as an important example of her preparatory process and provides insight into her method of working out compositions and color schemes before executing her final paintings.

As with many of Cassatt's works, this sketch is celebrated for its contribution to the understanding of the role of women and children in the art of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
