Margot appoggiata al ginocchio di Reine

Mary Cassatt, circa 1902

The image shows a pencil sketch featuring the upper bodies of two people, a woman and a child. The woman is seated, slightly turned towards the left, with her head slightly bowed, as she appears to be focused on the child beside her. Her facial features are softly drawn, with closed eyes, and her hair is styled in an updo. She is wearing a long-sleeved garment, and her hands are gently resting near the child’s shoulder. The child is in a relaxed position, leaning affectionately against the woman. The child has medium-length hair with bangs and is looking forward with eyes open. They are wearing a garment with a modest collar. The sketch is simplistic and focuses on the interaction and proximity of the two figures, capturing an intimate moment. The background is plain with minimal detailing, placing emphasis on the figures themselves. A few light sketched lines are present, and there are small markings, including illegible writing, near the top of the image, as well as the initials "m.e" at the bottom.
