'Bathing The Young Heir' by Mary Cassatt

            'Bathing the Young Heir’ was created in 1891 by American artist and printmaker Mary Stevenson Cassatt (1844-1926) in Impressionism style. It depicts a woman dipping her hands in a basin preparing to bathe her plump, rosy charge.  Cassatt had abandoned the painting unfinished but returned to finish it in the early 20th century.

Cassatt’s affinity for depicting the bond between mother or nanny and child is evident in this painting. The artist redirected her focus toward themes of child-rearing and women caring for children in the 1890s, showing her natural inclination for depicting these subjects.

Seen and photographed on exhibit at the Legion of Honor Museum of Fine Arts (FAMSF) in San Francisco, California.
