“Breakfast in Bed,” by Mary Cassatt explored the strain and fulfillment inherent in the relationship between parents and children. Painted in Cassatt’s Impressionistic style, the subject of mothers and children recurred in many of her works. In this piece, a child’s attention wanders as she is surrounded by her mother's loving embrace. Cassatt (1844 – 1926) subtly illustrated the friction between parents and children by contrasting the mother’s protective hold and gaze with her child’s inquisitiveness about the surrounding world.
