Woman on Striped Sofa with a Dog, by Mary Cassatt, 1876
When I wrote The Cool Girls post a few weeks ago, I spent a lot of time rediscovering Mary Cassatt and decided she is an ideal artist to feature in honor of Mother's Day this weekend.
She masterfully captures the mother/child bond and the mother/dog bond. Interestingly, she never married or had children, a good reminder that there are many ways to live one's life.
