The Fitting, 1890-91
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of daily life in the late 19th century. This exquisite print by Mary Stevenson Cassatt showcases an interior scene that reflects the elegance and style of the Belle Époque era. The image depicts a group of women gathered around a mirror, engaged in the meticulous process of measuring and fitting a gown. The attention to detail in both costume and setting transports us back to a time when fashion was meticulously crafted and tailored. The seamstress at work exudes skill and precision, while her clients eagerly await their perfectly fitted garments. Each woman embodies grace and sophistication, dressed in fashionable attire that epitomizes the trends of the time. Cassatt's use of color aquatint with drypoint creates a soft yet vibrant palette that enhances the overall allure of this piece. The influence of japonisme can be seen through subtle elements such as patterns on fabrics or decorative objects within the room. This artwork not only captures an intimate moment between dressmaker and client but also serves as a window into society's obsession with beauty, fashion, and self-expression during this period. "The Fitting" stands as a testament to Cassatt's ability to capture everyday scenes with remarkable finesse, inviting viewers to step into this elegant world from over a century ago.
