Brown drypoint print of two young figures leaning together over a pale surface, one resting an arm on it, with soft sketchy lines.

The Map (Mary Cassatt, 1890)

A drypoint print in brown ink shows two young figures leaning together over a broad, pale surface, one resting her arm across it while the other bends her head close. Soft, sketchy lines and open space around them give the scene an intimate, quiet feel.
