Among the most technically complex of Degas' prints, this view of Mary Cassatt and her sister in the galleries of the Musée du Louvre was intended, like Pissarro's Wooded Landscape at L'Hermitage, Pontoise (21.46.1), to appear in the first issue of the prospective journal Le Jour et la Nuit, on which the two artists collaborated with Cassatt and Félix Bracquemond. The group was intent on achieving new tonal effects in their prints by innovatively working up the surfaces of etching plates, perhaps spurred by achievements in Impressionist paintings or by advances in photography.

RM2H1XR8H–Mary Cassatt at, the Louvre: The Etruscan Gallery, drypoint and aquatint print by Edgar Degas, 1879-1880

RM2A52NEY–The Visitor (recto); The Visitor (verso), c. 1881. Like Knitting in the Library and After-Dinner Coffee, this is a working drawing for an etching.

RM2A51HB0–Mary Cassatt at the Louvre: The Etruscan Gallery, 1879-1880. As in Mary Cassatt at the Louvre, the Paintings Gallery Degas once again depicted Cassatt and her sister Lydia at the Louvre. In this iteration of the subject, Casatt gazes intently at an Etruscan tomb, about 500 BC, excavated at Cerveteri, the largest ancient necropolis in the Mediterranean. Cassatt is viewed from behind while the enigmatically smiling couple, lying on top of a sarcophagus and enclosed in a glass case, face the viewer. Cassatt confronts the sculpture directly while Lydia reads about it in a guidebook.
