    During her long residence in France, Cassatt sent paintings back to exhibitions in the United States—hers were among the first impressionist works seen in the country.🖌

    A painting of a young woman seated in a chair holding a fan in her lap. She has her light brunette hair tied up in a bun and wears no makeup. The woman looks off to the left of the canvas with little expression on her face.
