The Picture Book (No. 1)

Mary Cassatt, ca. 1901

The image shows a pencil sketch of a woman and a child visible from the waist up, positioned closely together. The woman is seated with her head slightly tilted, looking downward, with her hair styled in an updo. The child is nestled into the woman's embrace, with long hair cascading over her shoulders, also looking downward. The woman has closed eyes and the child's face is relaxed. Both appear to be wearing simple clothing. They are focusing on an unseen object or book in front of them, and the background is plain with visible sketch lines.
