Mother 1928

"Mother," a 1928 etching by American artist Dwight Case Sturges, depicts a woman seated and absorbed in reading a book. The composition highlights the figure, rendered in a bold, expressive style, against a light background. The inclusion of a small framed portrait in the upper right corner, possibly a historical figure, adds a layer of contemplation to the scene. Sturges, known for his masterful etchings, employed a technique that creates a sense of depth and texture, showcasing his expertise in capturing the nuances of human expression.
