Woman in a Red Bodice and Her Child is a 1901 oil by Mary Cassatt, a Impressionism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This painting shows a woman holding a baby. The woman is wearing a red bodice and has her back to the viewer. She has dark hair pulled up into a bun. The baby is looking at the viewer and has a neutral expression. The woman is holding the baby with both hands, and the baby's legs are dangling down. The woman and baby are sitting in front of a mirror, and you can see their reflection in it. The background of the painting is dark and muted, which makes the woman's red bodice stand out. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Mary Cassatt, an American artist known for her portraits of women and children.
Mary Stevenson Cassatt (; May 22, 1844 – June 14, 1926) was an American painter and printmaker.
