After-Dinner Coffee (recto)

Mary Cassatt

Cleveland Museum of Art

The drawing depicts a woman sitting and holding a cup. The woman has short dark hair, and her body faces slightly to the left while her head is turned to the left. She wears a dress with puffy short sleeves that are pushed up above her shoulders. Her left arm rests on a surface in front of her, and she holds a cup in her left hand. The cup appears to be empty. Her right hand holds a spoon or similar object up to her mouth. The drawing is rendered in charcoal on brown paper. The background is minimal, with some lines possibly indicating a wall behind her. The signature appears to be in the bottom-right corner.
