The Child's Bath
''The Child's Bath'' (or ''The Bath'') is an 1893 oil painting by American artist Mary Cassatt. The subject matter and the overhead perspective were inspired by Japanese woodblocks.〔(Painting profile ) from the Art Institute of Chicago.〕〔(Art Access ) at the Art Institute of Chicago.〕 It shows dignity in motherhood and has a style similar to that of Degas.
The Art Institute of Chicago acquired the piece in 1910. It has since become one of the most popular pieces in the museum.〔Lisa Stein. "The Art Institute has compiled its 'greatest hits.' We asked art experts to expand that list of 11 to include other treasures." ''Chicago Tribune''. 18 April 2003.〕
== Description ==
In 1893, Mary Cassatt created the oil painting with two subjects, a mother figure and a young child. The genre scene is based on the everyday bathing of a child, a moment that is “special by not being special”. 〔Janes, Karen Hosack. Great Paintings. New York: Dorling Kindersley Limited, 2011, 179. 〕 The female figure holds up the child firmly and protectively with her left hand while the other hand carefully washes the child’s feet. The small and chubby left arm of the child braces against the mother’s thigh, while the other hand is clamped firmly on the child’s own thigh. The mother’s right hand presses firmly but still gently on the foot in the basin, mimicking the child’s own pressure on her thigh. To indicate depth, Cassatt painted the faces to recede into space. The paint strokes are layered and rough, creating thick lines that outline the figures and stand them out from the patterned background. The hand of the artist is evident through the roughness of the strokes and can be better viewed from a distance.
