Description: "At the beginning of the 1870s, Mary Cassatt, a well-bred American girl, followed her vocation as a painter and made the choice to live in Paris. Very quickly recognized by the Impressionists with whom she exposes, she will make a decisive contribution to the recognition of the movement, by advising American collectors to acquire the paintings of her friends, mostly masterpieces." --Translated from back cover of jacket
