The Lamp is a 1890 ink by Mary Cassatt, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
A woman sits on a couch, turned slightly away, her head resting on her hand. In front of her is a small table with a teapot, a cup, and a pink pig figurine. Behind her, a large blue vase sits on a shelf above a window that shows a pale sky and distant hills. The artist used flat colors and simple shapes to keep things clean and calm. The lines are bold, almost like a sketch come to life. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this make prints.
