"Preparing Bill for an Outing" is a drypoint etching by American Impressionist painter Mary Cassatt, created around 1889. The piece depicts a mother gently preparing her young son for an outing, capturing the tender bond between parent and child. Cassatt, known for her depictions of women and children, used delicate lines and soft shading to create a sense of intimacy and warmth in this work. The etching's small size, 6 3/8 x 4 7/8 inches, emphasizes the close-up perspective, drawing the viewer into the private world of the mother and child.
