RMRG879A–Mary Cassatt at the Louvre: The Etruscan Gallery. Artist: Edgar Degas (French, Paris 1834-1917 Paris). Dimensions: Plate: 10 9/16 x 9 1/8 in. (26.8 x 23.2 cm) Sheet: 17 x 12 in. (43.2 x 30.5 cm). Sitter: Portrait of Mary Cassatt (American, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 1844-1926 Le Mesnil-Théribus, Oise) and her sister, Lydia. Date: 1879-80. Among the most technically complex of Degas' prints, this view of Mary Cassatt and her sister in the galleries of the Musée du Louvre was intended, like Pissarro's Wooded Landscape at L'Hermitage, Pontoise (21.46.1), to appear in the first issue of the prospe

RM2A52NEY–The Visitor (recto); The Visitor (verso), c. 1881. Like Knitting in the Library and After-Dinner Coffee, this is a working drawing for an etching. The slanted silhouette of the young woman framed against the verticals and horizontals of the window, a seated figure in profile in the lower left quadrant of the composition, and dramatic contrasts of sunlight and shadow have precedents in Degas's Mary Cassatt at the Louvre, the Etruscan Gallery. However, the care, delicacy, and sensitivity with which the visitor's face was drawn are entirely characteristic of Cassatt's close observation of her mod

RM2A51HB0–Mary Cassatt at the Louvre: The Etruscan Gallery, 1879-1880. As in Mary Cassatt at the Louvre, the Paintings Gallery Degas once again depicted Cassatt and her sister Lydia at the Louvre. In this iteration of the subject, Casatt gazes intently at an Etruscan tomb, about 500 BC, excavated at Cerveteri, the largest ancient necropolis in the Mediterranean. Cassatt is viewed from behind while the enigmatically smiling couple, lying on top of a sarcophagus and enclosed in a glass case, face the viewer. Cassatt confronts the sculpture directly while Lydia reads about it in a guidebook.
