Nurse Reading to a Little Girl (1895). Mary Cassatt (American, 1844-1926). Pastel on wove paper, mounted on canvas. Met.In 1894, Cassatt purchased and renovated the Château de Beaufresne at Mesnil-Theribus. Her increased interest in landscape settings in her pastels may reflect an appreciation of the outdoors cultivated at the château. Most of Cassatt’s pastels, like this one, have retained their original brilliance, while her papers, which were colored with unstable dyes, have faded. -- source link
