The Bath (verso)
1890-1891
Mary Cassatt was the ultimate chronicler of quiet, intimate moments between mothers and children. In this delicate drawing, a mother gently washes a foot in a large basin while a toddler clings securely to her lap, creating a tender triangle of care. The simple, flowing lines capture the everyday rhythm of bath time without any unnecessary fuss. It serves as a behind-the-scenes glimpse into her creative process for her famous painting 'The Bath', showing how she worked out the composition before committing to canvas.
