This oil on canvas painting by Mary Cassatt depicts a woman in a flowing yellow dress, holding a fan. The loose brushwork and warm tones are characteristic of Impressionism.
Mary Cassatt, an American expatriate, distinguished herself as a prominent figure within the Impressionist movement. Her work often explored the intimate lives of women, particularly their roles as mothers and within domestic settings. Cassatt's unique perspective brought a fresh viewpoint to the Impressionist circle, which was largely dominated by male artists. She was deeply influenced by Edgar Degas, who encouraged her to exhibit with the Impressionists in Paris. Her work also shows the influence of Japanese prints, which were gaining popularity in Europe at the time. 'Woman Standing, Holding a Fan' exemplifies Cassatt's skill in capturing the nuances of female experience. The painting depicts a woman in a flowing yellow dress, holding a fan. The brushwork is loose and expressive, characteristic of Impressionism, and the colour palette is dominated by warm tones. The composition is informal, creating a sense of immediacy and intimacy. The woman's gaze is directed downwards, perhaps suggesting a moment of contemplation or introspection. The fan, a common accessory of the time, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the scene.

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.
