How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North-facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid-free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18–24 °C and humidity at 40–60%. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid-free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50–75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25–50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
This Mary Cassatt Coiffure print captures a moment of quiet domesticity through the lens of late 19th-century French Impressionism. Originally produced in 1891 as part of a series of ten color prints, this work reflects Cassatt’s deep fascination with Japanese woodblock prints and their influence on Western aesthetics. The composition focuses on a woman seated before a mirror, her back turned to the viewer, as she meticulously arranges her hair. This intimate scene is rendered with precise lines and a muted color palette that emphasizes form over intricate detail, making it a staple of the Japonisme movement.
The Significance of the Mary Cassatt Coiffure Print
In the history of graphic arts, the Mary Cassatt Coiffure print stands as a technical triumph in the medium of drypoint and aquatint. Cassatt sought to replicate the flat planes of color and clear outlines characteristic of Kitagawa Utamaro’s woodcuts, which she had studied at the École des Beaux-Arts. By utilizing a soft color palette of rose, tan, and cream, she creates a tactile sensation on the striped chair and patterned wallpaper. The Mary Cassatt Coiffure print avoids the voyeuristic gaze often found in male-centric art of the era, instead presenting a dignified and private ritual of self-care. This psychological depth separates Cassatt from her contemporaries, cementing her role as a master of the female subject.
Compositional Mastery and Japonisme
The visual structure of this Mary Cassatt Coiffure print relies on the interaction between the physical subject and her reflection. The mirror acts as a secondary frame, doubling the visual space and providing a frontal view of the subject’s face and hands. The downward angle of her head suggests concentration and solitude. Collectors of Impressionist woman wall art often note how the sloping shoulders and curved back create a fluid, organic shape that contrasts with the vertical lines of the furniture and mirror frame. This juxtaposition is a hallmark of Cassatt’s ability to blend Eastern compositional techniques with Western subjects. The absence of traditional perspective and the use of bold, flat areas of color represent a radical departure from academic painting styles of the time.
