About the Item
Cassatt, Mary. BEFORE THE FIREPLACE. NO. 1.
Breeskin 64.
Soft-grpund etching and aquatint, c. 1882.
State 2 (of 3) with the light tone added, and the profile still indistinct.
Signed in pencil.
With the collection stamp of Robert Hartshorne (Lugt 2215b) verso, and with his initials and other annotations at the lower edge of the sheet, recto.
6 7/16 x 8 1/16 inches, 164 x 205 mm.
Hartshorne was a prominent collector, and his collection included a nearly complete aggregation of Cassatt's prints. He died in 1922, and in 1945 and 1946 his son sold a large part of the collection through Parke-Bernet in New York. In 2007, Christie's sold 70 Cassatt works at auction which had come from descendants of Robert Hartshorne. As this proof was not among those sold in the 2007 sale, it is likely that it was included in one of the earlier sales at Parke-Bernet.
A skilffully replaced piece in the bottom margin, else in very good condition. Scarce.

Mary Cassatt
Mary Cassatt became famous for her portraits.
Cassatt was especially drawn to women in everyday domestic settings, especially mothers with their children. But unlike the Madonnas and cherubs of the Renaissance, Cassatt's portraits were unconventional in their direct and honest nature. Commenting in American Artist, Gemma Newman noted that "her constant objective was to achieve force, not sweetness; truth, not sentimentality or romance."

- Tatoo-Shave-HaircutBy Reginald MarshLocated in New York, NYReginald Marsh (1898-1934), Tattoo-Shave-Haircut, etching, 1932. Signed, titled (“Tattoo-Haircut-Shave”), dedicated (“for Arnold Newman”), and annotated (“Fourth State. First of Two Prints”). Reference: Sasowsky 140. On cream wove paper. In very good condition, with small margins (as trimmed, slightly irregularly, by the artist) (slight foxing in margins), remains of prior hinging verso; 9 7/8 x 9 3/4, the sheet 10 15/16 x 10 5/8 inches; archival matting. A very fine rich black impression; we have not seen impressions of comparable quality on the market. Provenance: Estate of Arnold Newman. Arnold Newman (1918-2006) was one of the great 20th Century masters of photography, and a friend of many leading artists; it is appears that Marsh took special care in printing this impression for Newman. Sasowsky calls for 10 states of Tattoo-Shave, based largely on Marsh’s notes. But the states are not clearly delineated (e.g., his States 3 and 4, one proof each, are characterized by Marsh as “Engraving added”; no information is given for State 5). The design for the print was complete in the first state, and subsequent state changes were not, apparently, major. This impression does not appear to differ in etching lines from the final state impression shown in Sasowsky. Its inscription (as a Fourth State, by Marsh), as well as its rich inking and quality, attest to its being a proof before the edition (of about 34 impressions), but the state of this print (and, presumably of many of the other several proof impressions) cannot at this time be stated with confidence. Marsh printed this impression personally (we recall his famous answer to a question about the size of his editions: “Since I do practically all my own printing, I do not limit the edition. The buyer limits the edition – he rarely buys, I rarely print”). Tattoo-Shave-Haircut depicts a scene in the Bowery, a section of New York’s Lower East Side, during the Great Depression. The building and train structures in the top half of the print recall Piranesi’s Carceri...Category
