Created circa 1893 during the height of her creative maturity, Mary Cassatt’s Gathering Fruit stands as a definitive masterpiece of Classical Impressionism. Influenced heavily by Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, Cassatt employs a bold, flattened perspective and a vibrant, naturalistic palette to depict a serene, maternal moment of harvest. This piece represents a pivotal era in American and French modernism, capturing the quiet dignity of domestic life with architectural precision and fluid line work. To preserve the integrity of Cassatt's original composition, each print—regardless of the chosen format, including our premium canvas—is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border. This refined, gallery-ready presentation floats the artwork in standard proportions, ensuring no cropping occurs and maintaining the historical format intended by the artist.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
