About the work

As a printmaker, Cassatt often used drypoint for linear images. She found this technique to encourage the visual minimalism that she admired in Japanese woodblock prints. Throughout her career, the artist focused on compositions centered on women and children, here portraying a model that also appears in a painting in “Denise at Her Dressing Table”, made around the same date as the print.

This is the second and final state.
