CASSATT, Mary (1844-1926). Document signed three times ('Mary S. Cassatt', twice on recto and once on verso), Paris, 28 July 1876. A customs declaration for an artwork, described by the artist here as 'a picture 100 metre by 70 centimetres representing a Musical repetition', counter-signed by the U.S. Vice-Consul to Paris. Part-printed document from the U.S. Consulate General at Paris, one page , 4to (258 x 207mm) , attached to a document signed in the hand of Robert Cassatt, her father, one page , (168 x 217mm) . The subject matter and dimensions of the work – accounting for Cassatt's rather charming confusion of metres and centimetres – suggest that the painting this document accompanied was A Musical Party of 1874, now at the Musée Carnavalet, Paris; her father's sworn statement attached places the value of the work at $400. It was exhibited in 1874 in Paris and in Philadelphia in 1878. Having moved to Paris in 1874, Cassatt submitted her paintings with limited success to the Salon, before being invited by Degas to exhibit with the Impressionists.
