MARY CASSATT
(American, 1844-1926)
NURSE AND BABY BILL (NO. 2)
softground etching and aquatint;
signed and inscribed in pencil A Monsieur Andre Mellerio, Mary Cassatt, l.r.; B109, c. 1889-90; II/II; rare edition of 25;
plate: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches; sheet: 12 5/8 x 9 7/8 inches
Other Notes: In Nurse and Baby Bill, Cassatt "experiments with untraditional techniques and colors, giving the print a more painterly quality than her drypoints." * There are only a few known examples of Nurse and Baby Bill (No. 2), including several monochrome impressions, and only one two color impression known as the LC impression.
Andre Mellerio, a writer and admirer of Cassatt's prints, wrote the catalogue introduction for her second exhibition at the Galeries Durand-Ruel in 1893.
