"description": "Under the Horse Chestnut Tree was among the last color prints Cassatt made. In 1894, she purchased a ch\u00e2teau called Mesnil-Beaufresne in the village of Mesnil-Th\u00e9ribus and moved her press there from Paris. Her friend, the wealthy American collector Louisine Havemeyer recalled her working \"in her grey blouse in the small pavilion over the dam where she had installed her printing press. There she would work while daylight lasted with the aid of a printer; she did her own coloring and wiping of the plates. It was at the cost of much physical strain for she actually did the manual work.\" After the 1890s, Cassatt increasingly turned her attention toward pastel.",
