Under the Horse Chestnut Tree clevelandart.org/art/1946.296
Under the Horse Chestnut Tree was among the last color prints Cassatt made. In 1894, she purchased a château called Mesnil-Beaufresne in the village of Mesnil-Théribus and moved her press there from Paris. Her friend, the wealthy American collector Louisine Havemeyer recalled her working "in her grey blouse in the small pavilion over the dam where she had installed her printing press. There she would work while daylight lasted with the aid of a printer; she did her own coloring and wiping of the plates. It was at the cost of much physical strain for she actually did the manual work." After the 1890s, Cassatt increasingly turned her attention toward pastel.

Knitting in the Library clevelandart.org/art/1988.36
Elaborating upon the spare drawing of her mother in the library, Cassatt added aquatint to the plate, creating tonal variations and bold contrasts of light and shadow. This is an extremely rare artist's proof of the second of three states of the etching. Early prints like <em>Knitting in the Library </em>were private rather than commercial works of art, exercises in experimentation and innovation made by Cassatt as a young Impressionist.

On a Balcony www.artic.edu/artworks/26650
During her early Impressionist period, Mary Cassatt frequently captured the activities of middle- and upper-class women in society—at the theater or taking tea, for example. On a Balcony, which was shown in the 1880 Impressionist exhibition, appears to depict a woman in a public setting. However, the blue rail of the balcony, visible near the top of the painting, defines the enclosed space of a private garden, and the woman’s morning dress further indicates the intimacy of her location. Cassatt signaled the modernity of her subject through the woman’s choice of reading material: she peruses a newspaper rather than a novel, demonstrating that even at home, Cassatt’s subjects are connected to the contemporary world.

Gift of Mrs. Albert J. Beveridge in memory of her aunt, Delia Spencer Field
