An intimate exhibition brings together rarely seen treasures and iconic works by Mary Cassatt, marking 100 years since her death. Featuring a carefully curated selection of approximately 40 paintings, drawings, and prints, the presentation offers a rare opportunity to experience Cassatt’s work up close, with many pieces drawn from the National Gallery’s exceptional holdings.

Mary Cassatt’s art and life reflect an independent spirit that defied expectations for women in her time. Working within a world that often limited women’s artistic ambitions, she forged a distinctive voice—one that balanced technical mastery with bold, modern vision. Her work reveals both a deep respect for tradition and a fearless commitment to innovation.

Across three galleries within the National Gallery’s Impressionist collection, visitors are invited to look closely at how Cassatt worked and how her ideas developed. The exhibition traces her approach across media and subject matter, highlighting the precision, intimacy, and radical clarity that continue to define her legacy today.
