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.

When you display this Mary Cassatt print, you are showcasing a pivotal moment in the development of American modernism.

The History Behind The Child’s Bath 1893
Created during the peak of Cassatt’s career, The Child’s Bath 1893 represents her shift toward more solid figures and simplified shapes. Unlike many of her Impressionist contemporaries who focused on outdoor scenes, Cassatt excelled at portraying the private lives of women. This Impressionist wall art serves as a document of late 19th-century motherhood, captured without sentimentality but with profound observation. The presence of the ceramic pitcher and basin reflects the daily rituals of the era, rendered with a dignity usually reserved for historical or religious subjects.
Our Mary Cassatt print is produced using professional large-format equipment to replicate the original textures of the oil on canvas. Whether you are looking for mother and child decor for a nursery or a sophisticated addition to a hallway gallery, this print provides a quiet, soulful atmosphere. The 200 GSM paper offers a sturdy feel and a non-reflective surface, allowing the subtle shifts in light and shadow to be visible from any angle in the room.
