The Boating Party was painted by which female Impressionist painter?

`The Boating Party' was painted by Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) in 1983 and hangs in National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. Cassatt was born in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, but lived much of her adult life in France where she befriended Edgar Degas and exhibited with the Impressionists.

Cassatt’s audacity to draw masterfully was one of many conventions the artist broke in her lifetime. She pursued a rigorous art education, but when the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, then the top American art academy, prevented her from attending drawing sessions with nude models, she headed to Paris. Cassatt ultimately became the only American to exhibit with the Impressionists, showing with them four times. In addition to finding success as a professional artist, Cassatt also helped introduce Impressionism to an American network of patrons through her family connections and personal friendships.

Berthe Morisot, Lilla Cabot Perry and Eva Gonzalès were also Impressionist painters.
