The Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, has announced its first acquisition of an impressionist painting in 50 years. Mary Cassatt's (1844–1926) Portrait of the artist's sister Lydia is believed to be a preliminary study for The Cup of Tea, a painting from 1879–80 now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The acquisition was made possible by the support of the Hedda and N. D. Qvist Fund.
