Riposo

Mary Cassatt, circa 1890

The image shows an adult sitting with a child on her lap. Both figures are positioned centrally in the frame. The adult, a woman, has her hair styled back and features a solemn expression. The child has short hair and is looking towards the left. The woman is wearing a long-sleeved dress with a small pattern, while the child is dressed in a sleeveless garment. They are sitting in front of a plain background with vertical panel lines. There are no visible items of jewelry or objects. The artwork is a sketch with minimalist, monochromatic lines providing detail and shading.
