Mary Cassatt painted "The Young Girls" in about l885; the expressions she captured are unsurpassable, and I hoped by attempting to duplicate her work to sharpen my eye for the gestures which truly convey personality and emotion. I like to imagine what these two might have been thinking as they posed for the artist. Best friends, maybe cousins who delighted in one another's company. I remember feeling that way about my own cousins.
