![Mrs. Gardner Cassatt and her Baby Seated near a Window - MARY CASSATT - drypoint](/prints/Cassattmother.jpg)
MARY CASSATT
American, (1844-1926)
Drypoint, circa 1887, Breeskin 112; from a very small edition. 8 3/8 x 5 1/2 in. Signed in pencil lower right. This is a superb, early impression with full margins. The paper is a light cream laid without a watermark. The condition is fine. This finely detailed work is exceptionally rare. The subject of this portrait was Eugenia Carter Cassatt who married the artist's younger brother, Joseph Gardner Cassatt, in 1882. Here she is depicted with her young son, Gardner, born in 1886. The young family visited Mary in Paris where this portrait was done. We've located two impressions in museum collections; the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Library of Congress. Provenance: Kennedy Galleries, NY, and a private Washington, DC collection. PRICE ON REQUEST
