Mary Cassatt is famous for her sensitive depictions of women and children and their loving relationships. Well known for her paintings and pastels, she was also a highly accomplished printmaker, executing over 200 prints. An overwhelming number are intimate portrayals of mothers and children. This one, disarming in its simplicity, is among Cassatt’s tenderest.
