Mary Cassatt was an American Impressionist painter and printmaker who lived from 1844 to 1926. She is famous for portraits of the social and private lives of women, focusing specifically on the relationship between a mother and child. Later in her life, she sponsored young, American artists and became an art advisor for many major art collectors.
