To celebrate International Women’s Day I’m sharing Mary Cassatt’s ‘Spanish Girl leaning on a Window Sill’.
Between 1872 and 1873, the American artist Mary Cassatt spent six months in Seville at the palace of the Duke and Duchess of Medinaceli, who often hosted friends, foreign travellers and painters. Cassatt, who worked hard and rarely left her studio, became known in the city as the lady of the Casa Pilatos.
