Portrait of Augusta B. Demuth [the artist’s mother] 1986

Charles Demuth, known for his Precisionist style, created a portrait of his mother, Augusta B. Demuth, in 1926. The drawing, executed in graphite, showcases Demuth's masterful use of line and shading to capture the likeness of his mother. The subject appears to be in profile, her gaze directed towards the viewer, conveying a sense of quiet contemplation. The artist's signature, "CHD," is faintly visible in the lower right corner, adding authenticity to this intimate portrait.
