Woman Bathing (La Toilette) (print (visual work); Mary Cassatt (American, 1844-1926); 1890-1891; Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York City, New York state, U...; 16.2.2)

Note: Cassatt spent her professional life in Paris, where she was a member of the Impressionist group. Woman Bathing belongs to a group of ten color prints that Cassatt showed at her first independent exhibition (at the Galerie Durand-Ruel, Paris) in 1891. The abstract, linear quality of the nude's back drew the attention of Cassatt's colleague and sometime collaborator, Edgar Degas (1834–1917), who exclaimed, "I do not admit that a woman can draw like that."
