books0977: Francoise in a Square-Backed Chair, or Young Girl Reading; Fillette en Robe Bleue (c.1908). Mary Cassatt (American, 1844-1926). Pastel on paper mounted on linen. After 1890 Cassatt turned increasingly to the subject for which she became best known, mother and children, portraying the domestic scene in a careful but impressionist style that conferred a meditative calm. This typical work is among about 15 depictions in pastel and oil of the same French model, called Françoise to facilitate designation, all done around 1908. -- source link
