The original is Mary Cassatt's Woman Bathing, which was part of her series of ten color aquatints that she described as "an imitation of Japanese methods" with the flat coloring, diagnals, flat forms, and strong emphasis on pattern and lines.
I picked this, just because I liked the angles and color. But I also wanted to see how a picture that was first based on ukiyoe woodblock prints, interpreted by a western impressionist painter who abandoned oil painting for flat printmaking, would look like, back in acrylics.
