From Sotheby’s:
Many of Cassatt’s depictions of solitary women portrayed scenes of everyday activities, such as reading or sewing. In the present work, however, the young Céleste sits upon a slatted bench in a garden, completely absorbed in her own thoughts. Her gaze—although distant—engages the viewer and demonstrates Cassatt’s uncanny ability to capture the essence of her subject—in this case, a contemplative, quiet moment.
