Washington DC's National Gallery of Art holds 123 works by Mary Cassatt (1844–1926) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Cassatt was the only American in the Impressionist circle, and her paintings of women and children have an intimacy and directness that set her apart. Her technique — influenced by Japanese printmaking as much as by Degas — is more experimental in person than it first appears.
