專家說明

The sketch plate has a long history in printmaking. In the tradition of Rembrandt and others, Cassatt maintained a lighthearted approach to her drypoints, even while producing her major color prints (the present lot is dated to around the same time period as Gathering Fruit [see lots 55 and 56]).
