This work is included in the Cassatt Committee's revision of Adelyn Doehme Breeskin's catalogue raisonné of the works of Mary Cassatt.
Throughout her career, Mary Cassatt explored the subject of children with a wonderful sense of intimacy and tenderness. Cassatt rendered Master St. Pierre with the ease and speed of pastel in a rare moment of stillness. Appearing to be about 4 or 5 years of age, this child would likely be filled with energetic curiosity for his surroundings, as demonstrated by his side long gaze, possibly fixed on his mother or nanny standing nearby, coaxing him to sit still.
