Portrait de fillette is an 1879 painting by Mary Cassatt, the American painter living in Paris who operated at the height of the trend of Impressionism. Here she exhibits a similar concern with loose and quick brushwork. Despite this, she also succeeds in a true likeness and Realism of expression in the little girl who looks out at us reluctantly if not sulkily.
Mary Cassatt’s Portrait de fillette is in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux.
