Cassatt's subjects were mainly women, especially mothers and daughters, in domestic and intimate situations. She has produced color prints, color woodblocks, pastels, and paintings, though her lithography work is rare.
"Sara Wearing Her Bonnet and Coat" is one of Cassatt's rare lithographic works. It is one of only two known prints in lithography executed by Cassatt. The subject, Sara of Mesnil-Theribus (a village outside of Paris), is one of two other girls which Cassatt used in a series of works. Cassatt worked with the same model several times; this technique was an influence of Degas. Sara's relaxed, natural pose is typical of Cassatt's style.
