Young Mother Sewing
Mary Cassatt (1900)
Mary Cassatt’s Young Mother Sewing centers the quiet <strong>labor of care</strong>: a mother steadies pale fabric while a child in white leans into her, eyes meeting ours. Cool <strong>greens and blues</strong> bathe the figures as striped sleeves and chair arms rhythmically return attention to the mother’s working hands, while a burst of <strong>orange blossoms</strong> by the window anchors interior life against the world outside <sup>[1]</sup>.
