This painting by Mary Cassatt portrait of Madame Sisley, wife of Impressionist painter Alfred Sisley. The sitter appears thoughtful and dignified, rendered with Cassatt's characteristic attention to feminine psychology and social presence. Soft brushwork and warm tones create an intimate atmosphere.
Cassatt moved in Impressionist circles, forming close friendships with Degas, Monet, and the Sisleys. Her portraits of women captured their subjects with unusual depth. This work is in a private collection.
