EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Mary Stevenson Cassatt, titled "Woman Bathing" transports us back to the late 19th century. The artist's mastery of colour drypoint and aquatint techniques is evident in this exquisite piece on heavy laid paper. The scene depicts a private moment of a woman engaged in her daily ritual of bathing. Set within the confines of a domestic interior, we catch a glimpse into the intimate world of la toilette. The impressionist style employed by Cassatt adds an ethereal quality to the composition, enhancing our perception of light and movement. A washstand adorned with an elegant basin, ewer, and jug serves as the focal point while reflecting the woman's naked form. Her robe delicately hangs nearby as she gazes into a mirror, perhaps contemplating her own reflection or lost in thought. Cassatt's attention to detail captures not only physical beauty but also evokes emotions and narratives that resonate with viewers even today. This artwork invites contemplation on themes such as femininity, privacy, and self-reflection. Housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, this timeless masterpiece continues to captivate audiences with its remarkable technique and profound subject matter. It stands as a testament to Cassatt's contribution to American art history and remains an enduring symbol of impressionism at its finest.
