Cold, sharp, and fresh, the pale green tinge of SEA BREEZE Linen billowed and danced through Mary Cassatt's brightly lit scenes, forming zesty ribbons of dazzling brilliance.

As one of only a handful of women associated with the French Impressionist movement Cassatt's vision was devoted to the female realm; she silently observed the women of 19^th century France from afar, watching as they populated theatres, hushed interiors and sun-streaked gardens, each with their own form of steely self-determination.

Much like her male contemporaries, Cassatt adopted a free, expressionist language to convey these half-told narratives, painting the scenery around her astutely observed characters with a a frenzied flurry of brushstrokes in minty greens and creamy whites to suggest the fleeting movement and bristling freshness of fresh, French light.

At a medium weight of 5.3 ounces this 58 inch wide 100% linen is versatile enough to be referred to as an All Purpose or Do it All linen. With its smooth look and tighter weave, this linen is neither sheer or heavy, but just the right in-between weight you will need for a variety of projects.

The cloth is Softened so we have added a softener to give it a silkier hand. The fabric has not been laundered so shrinkage will still have to be taken into consideration (shrinkage depends on fabric weave and laundering method).
