Mimi as a Brunette

Mary Cassatt

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the bust and arm of a woman resting on her left arm against a cushioned surface. She has shoulder-length dark hair styled back, and prominent facial features with defined eyes and a composed expression. The woman is wearing intricately detailed clothing and holding a round object in her hand. Beside her, there are sketches of large flower-like shapes. The background is minimally detailed with sketchy lines.
