and Mistresses.....I am looking for a lithograph ( I think).

It is of a mother turning her baby upside down under the spigot to clean it's bottom. Might originally have been water colors. The painting/print has the words:

bébé avec de l'eau bain

something about not throwing out the baby with the bath water.

I know some of you have excellent search skills. If you come across any info that might help me find it please let me know. TYTYTYTYTYTYTYTY!

Hey Lil ...

The photo you're referring to is entitled "l'eau n'est pas bonne a' autre chose" (roughly translated, "the only thing water is good for"). It depicts a woman holding a baby upside down under a spigot.

The artist might be Georges Redon (1869-1943). The photo is actually an illustration, which was Redon's forte.

Wasn't able to find the illustration, but you can get more information on Georges Redon here:

I would love to have some of the prints they are discussing ...

From what I've been able to discern, it was his attempt of illustrating the phrase you mentioned above ... Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

The one I am looking for is more crudely drawn like the second and has writing just like the second does.
