Reflection is a 1890 ink by Mary Cassatt, a Impressionism work, depicting Sitting, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman lost in thought, looking at her reflection. She's sitting in a quiet room, and her face is the main focus. Her expression is calm and gentle. The woman's face is softly lit, which makes her features stand out. The artist used simple lines to create this intimate scene. To learn more about the artist's use of light and shadow, look up the technique: chiaroscuro.
