About
In her many portraits of mothers and their children, Cassatt was praised for her ability to capture the intimacy and tenderness of these moments without indulging in the overbearing sentimentality that other artworks of the subject matter followed. This drypoint and aquatint etching follows many of the characteristics of Japanese woodcut prints, including a flattened and highly cropped composition. In the scene a mother sits in a floral armchair in her bedroom, holding the baby up to her chest whose arms are wrapped around her neck.
