EDITORS COMMENTS

Titled "Maternal Caress" this artwork beautifully captures the essence of affection between a mother and her child. Cassatt's mastery is evident in her use of color drypoint and softground etching on wove paper, which adds depth and texture to the image. The impressionist style she employs infuses the scene with warmth and tenderness, as we see a young mother gently embracing her baby. The domestic setting depicted here speaks volumes about the importance of family life during that era.
