This print by Mary Cassatt captures a serene moment as two women and a child feed ducks from a boat. Cassatt's Impressionist style and delicate use of colour create a sense of intimacy and calm.
Mary Cassatt, an American expatriate artist, is celebrated for her Impressionist works, particularly those depicting the intimate lives of women and children. Cassatt's style was influenced by Edgar Degas and Japanese prints, which she collected. Her work often explores the themes of motherhood, domesticity, and the social interactions of women in the late 19th century. 'Feeding the Ducks', created around 1894, exemplifies Cassatt's skill in printmaking. The scene shows two women and a child in a boat, surrounded by ducks. The composition is informal, capturing a fleeting moment of everyday life. Cassatt uses a combination of drypoint and aquatint to create a range of tonal effects, from the soft, diffused light on the water to the sharper lines defining the figures. The colour palette is muted, with soft greens, pinks, and reds, contributing to the overall sense of calm and intimacy. The influence of Japanese prints is evident in the flattened perspective and the emphasis on line and pattern.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

The only American Impressionist, invited by Degas, who painted mothers and children with unsentimental precision and told American millionaires what to buy.
