Maternal Caress, 1890-1
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Mary Stevenson Cassatt captures the timeless bond between a mother and her child. In this exquisite print, we witness an intimate moment of love and tenderness as the mother embraces her naked baby in a warm cuddle. The artist's mastery of color drypoint and aquatint techniques brings forth a sense of softness and delicacy, beautifully rendered on cream laid paper. Set within the confines of a domestic interior, possibly a bedroom or sitting room, the scene exudes tranquility and familiarity. The mother is seated on a chair, cradling her child with utmost care. Their connection is palpable as they engage in this heartfelt embrace. Cassatt's impressionist style shines through in this artwork, evident in her loose brushstrokes that capture light and movement effortlessly. Through subtle details such as the play of light on their skin tones or the gentle folds of fabric draping over the chair, she creates an atmosphere that envelops us with warmth. As we gaze upon "Maternal Caress" we are reminded of the universal experience of motherhood – its joys, challenges, and unconditional love. This touching portrayal celebrates not only the beauty found within these maternal bonds but also serves as an ode to all mothers who have nurtured their children throughout history. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA, this mesmerizing artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless depiction of maternal affection.
