Gathering Fruit is a 1893 ink by Mary Cassatt, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows two women in a garden. One is dressed in a light blue dress, leaning over a low brick wall covered in green vines and fruit. The other stands below, reaching up toward the fruit, her arms outstretched. The background has a pale blue sky and a simple wooden fence. The artist used a mix of soft colors and bold lines to show the scene. The way the light hits the fruit and leaves makes it look almost real, even though it’s a print. Look up etching to see how artists like this one create prints with acid and metal plates.
