Mary Cassatt (May 22, 1844 - June 14, 1926) was an American painter and print-maker. She was born in Pennsylvania, but lived much of her artistic life in France, where she first befriended Edgar Degas and later exhibited among the Impressionists. Cassatt often created images of the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bonds between mothers and children.
