She lived much of her adult life in France, where she first befriended Edgar Degas and later exhibited among the Impressionists.

Cassatt often created images of the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bonds between mothers and children.

And here’s the painting by Mary Cassatt.

The Doodle is a modified Google logo that is displayed instead of the regular Google logo.

The Doodle is based on Ida, or Darwinius, a genus of the Adapiformes from the Eocene epoch. Basically, she’s a 47 million year old fossil unveiled this week by German scientists claiming she’s the missing link to the evolution of human beings.

What makes this doodle different from most of Google previous doodles, it has sparked anger from some groups.
