About the piece

Created in 1893, this celebrated masterpiece by Mary Cassatt captures a quiet moment of domestic care. The composition reflects Cassatt’s interest in Japanese woodblock prints, utilizing a high vantage point and bold, rhythmic patterns in the woman's dress to frame the tender interaction between the figures.
