From the Cleveland Museum of Art record
Encouraged by the Impressionist Mary Cassatt and the poet Stéphane Mallarmé, Morisot experimented with printmaking between 1887 and 1889. In this drypoint, a technique in which a sharp tool is used to scratch lines onto a copper plate, Morisot looks directly at the viewer—as if drawing our portrait—while 11-year-old Julie observes her mother at work.
