Mother’s Kiss 1890 - 1891

Mary Cassatt's "Mother's Kiss" (1890-1891) is a tender depiction of a mother kissing her child, a common theme in Cassatt's work that explores the bond between mothers and children. The composition is intimate and focused, the figures rendered in soft, tonal lines against a plain background. The print's delicate lines and sensitive portrayal of a maternal moment exemplify Cassatt's artistic style, which was influenced by Japanese prints and Impressionism.
