Mary Cassatt’s Baby Embracing Her Motheris a lovely example of the artist’s experimentation with pastel counterproofs, at the encouragement of renowned dealer Ambroise Vollard (estimate: $30,000 – 50,000). Counterproofs are created by placing a dampened sheet of paper on top of a pastel and applying pressure to transfer some of the pastel to the new sheet. The technique creates a mirror image that has a softer look than the original, and the pastel appears essentially unchanged. While the theme of maternity is a hallmark of Cassatt, her counterproofs demonstrate that she continued to innovate and create appealing images long after she moved away from Impressionism.
