The Fitting

Mary Cassatt

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three women from the waist up. The central woman is facing slightly to the side, with short, dark hair and a calm expression. She wears a long, striped dress with puffy sleeves. Next to her, another woman is seen from the back, looking into a mirror, dressed similarly. Below them, another woman's head is visible, turned away, wearing dark clothing with stripes. The background includes a patterned wallpaper with floral motifs and a decorative carpet.
