Quality is not sacrificed.On a Balcony, 1878/79Artist:Mary CassattAmerican, 1844–1926ABOUT THIS ARTWORKDuring Mary Cassatt's early Impressionist period, she frequently focused on the activities of middle-class women in society—at the theater or taking tea, for example. At first glance, the arresting painting On a Balcony, which was shown in the 1880 Impressionist exhibition, appears to depict a woman in a public setting. However, the blue rail of the balcony, visible near the top of the painting, defines the enclosed space of a private garden, while the woman's morning dress further indicates the intimacy of her location. Cassatt signaled the modernity of her subject through the woman's choice of reading material; she peruses a newspaper rather than a novel. Even at home Cassatt's subjects are connected to the contemporary world, not lost in a fictional fantasy.ArtistMary CassattTitleOn a BalconyOriginFranceDate1878–1879MediumOil on canvasInscriptionsSigned lower left: "Mary Cassatt"Dimensions89.9 × 65.2 cm (35 1/2 × 25 5/8 in.)Credit LineGift of Mrs. Albert J.
