1905
pastel
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Sara Wearing a Bonnet and Coat is a 1905 pastel by Mary Cassatt, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a girl wearing a bright pink bonnet with blue flowers and a light-colored coat. Her face is soft and round, with simple lines for eyes and a gentle smile. The pastel colors blend loosely, giving it a warm, sketchy look. The artist used pastel on paper, layering colors to create light and shadow. The signature in the corner is small and faint. Look up pastel to see how artists use soft, waxy sticks to make vivid, blended colors.
Mary Stevenson Cassatt (; May 22, 1844 – June 14, 1926) was an American painter and printmaker.
