About this work

The painting shows a woman bathing, surrounded by soft, gentle lines. She's lost in thought, with her face tilted downward. The scene feels quiet and intimate, like a private moment. The artist used a mix of techniques to create this print. The combination of drypoint and aquatint gives the scene a soft, dreamy quality. This mix of techniques was a hallmark of the artist's style during this period. The soft, gentle lines in this print are similar to those found in works by artist: Cassatt, Mary.
