Although Cassatt began her artistic training in Pennsylvania, from an early age she frequently traveled and lived in Europe. She settled in Paris in 1874, where she became a close friend of Edgar Degas. She soon became affiliated with the French Impressionists and exhibited with them from 1879 until 1886.
Here, the mandolin player holds her instrument as though she were actually playing it while looking at the music on the stand. She is seated on an upholstered settee in a room with a framed picture and a fan on the wall behind her.
