"Little Girl in a Blue Armchair" is a stunning portrait completed in 1878 by the renowned American artist Mary Cassatt. The piece is characterized by its vivid realism and subtle impressionistic elements, bridging the two styles in a uniquely harmonious way. Cassatt implemented the use of oil on canvas to capture this lifelike image of a young girl comfortably resting in a large blue armchair. Known for her close collaboration with Edgar Degas, Cassatt's painting was further enhanced by Degas' revisions. The artwork is now housed in the prestigious collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., representing the richness of American Impressionism.
