EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: A Child's Head (circa 1916) - A Captivating Portrait Study by Mary Cassatt This evocative portrait study, titled 'A Child's Head,' dates back to approximately 1916, showcasing the remarkable artistic prowess of Mary Cassatt. The painting captures the enigmatic charm of a young child, whose identity remains a mystery, clad in a blue outfit and donning a hat. The subject's face, with its soft, undefined features, exudes an air of innocence and intrigue. Mary Cassatt, an influential American artist, was a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement. Known for her masterful depictions of the female experience, she often explored the complexities of motherhood and childhood. This study deviates from her usual subject matter, offering a glimpse into her versatility as an artist. The child's blue attire and hat, though not clearly defined, add depth and contrast to the painting, creating a visual harmony with the muted color palette. The subtle play of light and shadow on the child's face further emphasizes the intricacies of the painting, inviting the viewer to delve deeper into the enigma of the subject. This portrait study was published in August of an old magazine volume, now preserved in the extensive collection of the March of the Women at Mary Evans Prints Online. The image offers a rare opportunity to appreciate the artistic brilliance of Mary Cassatt and the enduring allure of her work.
