One of the leading peintres-graveurs, or painter-printmakers, of late nineteenth-century Paris, Mary Cassatt (1844–1926) applied her painterly skill to a variety of print techniques. Balancing color, line, and texture, she breathed life into intimate scenes of domestic labor and leisure. “Cassatt on Paper” presents highlights from Mia’s collection of prints by Cassatt, offering a rare view into the life and art of this important woman artist.
