About this work

A mother with her hair pulled up in a bun holds a young infant against her shoulder, both turned toward the left in a quiet, intimate pose. The fine, sparse linework of this print renders the figures and a few background lines on a pale sheet, and the signature Mary Cassatt appears in pencil below the plate.
