"Kinderkopje (gesigneerd)" is a black and white drypoint etching by American artist Mary Cassatt, dated 1882. The artwork features a young child's head in profile, rendered with delicate lines and soft shading, capturing a sense of childhood innocence. The etching is part of Cassatt's series of prints focusing on mothers and children, a subject she explored throughout her career. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies Cassatt's mastery of the drypoint technique and her sensitive portrayal of everyday life.
