Mother Combing Child's Hair | Mary Cassatt

Mother Combing Child's Hair (1879) by Mary Cassatt captures a quiet, tender moment between a mother and her child. The painting portrays the mother gently combing her child’s hair, symbolising care and affection. With her signature Impressionist style, Cassatt uses soft brushstrokes and light to highlight the intimacy of this everyday maternal act. The warmth of the scene is enhanced by the muted colour palette and the focus on the serene expressions of both figures. Use the design tools to add custom text or personalise the image.
