Hélène is Restless

My name is Isabella, and I'm so excited to show you something amazing today! We're going to look at a painting called "Hélène is Restless." It was painted a long, long time ago in 1890 by an artist named Mary Cassatt. nn Can you say "Hélène?" That's a French name, and it sounds so pretty, just like this painting! nn Now, look closely at the painting. What do you see? nn --- nn That's right! We see a woman and a little girl. The little girl is Hélène, and she might be feeling a little bit antsy today. Can you tell why? nn --- nn Yes! Her cheeks are super rosy, and her mouth is kind of puckered up. Maybe she's thinking about something exciting, or maybe she just wants to play! nn The woman in the painting is probably Hélène's mommy. She's looking down at Hélène, and it seems like she's taking care of her. Have you ever felt restless like Hélène? nn --- nn Me too sometimes! It's totally normal. nn Now, let's look at the colors in the painting. Mary Cassatt used lots of warm and cozy colors like reds, browns, and yellows.
