On a Balcony (1878-79) by Mary Cassatt - Museum Quality Canvas

An exquisite, museum-grade gallery print curated for premium collections. This classic masterpiece delivers stunning historical detail at an impressive large scale. Shown at the 1880 Impressionist exhibition, On a Balcony depicts a woman in a private garden surrounded by flowers rendered in energetic brushstrokes of red, blue, yellow, and pink. Mary Cassatt focused on the activities of middle- and upper-class women in society—from public outings like the theater to domestic settings such as this one.Cassatt signaled the modernity of her subject through the woman’s choice of reading material: she peruses a newspaper rather than a novel, demonstrating that even at home, Cassatt’s subjects are connected to the contemporary world.
