Original Description
Mary Cassatt's Reflection (b. 131) is a captivating example of her mastery in portraying intimate feminine moments with remarkable sensitivity. Created around 1885 during her mature period, this impressionistic drypoint and aquatint print exemplifies Cassatt's fascination with private domestic scenes—often depicting women engaged in personal rituals. The work shows a seated woman gazing into a mirror, her reflection momentarily arrested in quiet contemplation. Cassatt's delicate yet confident lines translate depth through subtle gradations, while the warm tonal harmony evokes a sense of tranquility. As one of the few women in the French Impressionist circle, Cassatt pioneered prints that blended Japanese ukiyo-e influences with Western techniques. Reflection holds historical significance for challenging traditional gender roles in art by centering female subjectivity rather than the male gaze—here, the woman observes herself, not an external spectator.
For interior styling, this piece thrives in spaces designed for reflection (literally and metaphorically)—consider a dressing nook with soft lighting or a minimalist bedroom. Its warm sepia and ochre tones pair beautifully with muted textiles like linen or cashmere, while the intimate 9.5 x 6.5-inch size suits gallery walls or layered shelf displays. Frame it in a slender black or gilt frame to honor its 19th-century origins, and hang at eye level to recreate Cassatt’s immersive perspective. In offices, position it near seating areas to encourage pauses; the contemplative mood balances modern workspaces. Avoid overcrowding—let its subtlety shine by pairing with neutral ceramics or a single sculptural vase echoing its organic curves. A well-placed table mirror nearby could playfully extend the artwork’s thematic resonance.
