Description
Drypoint, signed in full and inscribed no 4, third (final) state, printed in black ink with strong burr and even plate tone, on smooth, ivory Japanese wove paper
Breeskin described only two states of this drypoint. In the third state, Cassatt added a pattern to the sleeve of the blouse and completed the reflection in the mirror.
This subject was included in the exhibition of Cassatt's works held at Durand-Ruel Galleries, New York, in 1915. (No edition of this print is recorded, although a few impressions were in Vollard's collection.)
