Mary
Cassatt’s Mathilde Holding a Baby Who
Reaches Out to Right was acquired by the present owner in1964 and is also
among the 19th century highlights in the sale (est.
$700/900,000). Executed in 1890, the work is one of only a few depictions of
Cassatt’s loyal maid, Mathilde Valet. Cassatt discovered pastel with the help
of her colleague Edgar Degas, and with the medium she was able to demonstrate
her skills as an accomplished draftsman and colorist. In Mathilde Holding a Baby, the artist deftly renders the flesh tones
with layered pigments to create volume.
