Portrait if
and his son, Robert Kelso Cassatt
by
,1884-85,
The Philadelphia Museum of Art
, the Impressionist artist, is well known for using her family as models in her artwork (men and boys are seen less often) as she spent a lot of her time around the women of the family. In this portrait we see
father and her brother sharing an intimate moment. Her father was a railroad man and probably not around the house as often, or willing to sit still for very long (pure conjecture on my part). Happy Father’s Day – perhaps you can capture an image of your father today?
