## Image Caption

An 1878 oil on canvas, *Little Girl in a Blue Armchair*, by [Mary Cassatt](https://www.worldhistory.org/Mary_Cassatt/) (1844-1926), the American impressionist painter. The art historian J. H. Rubin notes: "The sense of casual observation and intimacy, combined with a wilful use of blue and sloping space, speak loudly of Cassatt's modernity" (236). (National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.)
