Cecilia Beaux
Painted while Cecilia Beaux lived at an artist's colony in France, the work of art captures two women as they share an intimate moment at twilight. Beaux studies the light and its influence on the scene and its atmosphere. She juxtaposes the traditional Breton women with the seascape that envelopes the painting. Their exchange adds an air of mystery to the painting, leading the viewer to ask what is happening that very moment. -

Born to a prominent Pittsburgh family, she traveled extensively through Europe with her parents and siblings. (https://www.google.com/search?q=who+was+mary+cassatt&rlz)
