Durand-Ruel 1891 (Cassatt) refers to a celebrated solo exhibition of ten drypoint and aquatint prints by the American painter, printmaker, pastelist, and connoisseur Mary Cassatt at the Durand-Ruel gallery, Paris, that took place in April 1891.

Background

Japanese influence

Kitagawa Utamaro, Takashima Ohisa Using Two Mirrors to Observe Her Coiffure: Night of the Asakusa Marketing Festival, about 1795, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston ^[a]

Notes

^ Cassatt owned a copy of Utamaro's Takashima Ohisa Using Two Mirrors to Observe Her Coiffure (now also in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) but her copy has faded badly and a better example today is this one in the Spaulding Collection at the same museum (but it too has faded).^[1]
^ The subjects Kintarô and Yamauba belong to Japanese folklore.
