Mother and Child
Kitagawa Utamaro Japanese
Not on view
As in a number of the prints in this exhibition, the reflection of the mother and child in this image enables us to see the figures from two sides. Here, a dog raises its paw, perhaps in imitation of the baby's elevated hand. Such mother-and-child prints by Utamaro influenced the work of Mary Cassatt.
