The Child's Bath (or The Bath) is an 1893 oil painting by American artist Mary Cassatt. The subject matter and the overhead perspective were inspired by Japanese woodblocks.[1][2]
The Art Institute of Chicago acquired the piece in 1910. It has since become one of the most popular pieces in the museum.[3]
