"Edgar Degas was the son of a wealthy banker and his aristocratic family background installed into his early art a haughty yet sensitive quality of detachment" (Web Museum Paris 2). Mary Cassatt had many influences in her life; Impressionism was one of them. The principle Impressionists of America were Hassam, Sargent, Homer, Whistler and of course Cassatt. Mary Cassatt had accomplished many works in her lifetime which included the two main styles she undertook, which were Impressionism and Japanese (drypoint). The Ecole de Beaux-Arts held an exhibition which showed Japanese prints that increased even more her lust for printmaking (Artist Profiles 3). Placing them side by side would achieve greater brightness of color and luminosity of the tone in the paintings. Her graphic techniques became a larger part of her art by experiencing a failed project with Pissarro and Braquemond. He and she were becoming great friends. She then traveled to Europe and settled in Paris in 1874.
