The Bath: ca 1891. Using aquatint, drypoint, etching, and hand-coloring, 'The Bath' was Cassatt's first effort in prints series, and the only one, according to her, in which she truly tried to imitate Japanese design. She produced seventeen different states for 'The Bath', more than for any other print in the series. The subject, a mother and child, is a favorite of Cassatt's, and in the series as a whole, she opens a window on women's private lives in the nineteenth century.
