J.D. Hatch 1946

This charcoal portrait, "J.D. Hatch," was created in 1946 by the American artist Albert Edward Sterner. The drawing depicts a man in a suit and tie, his expression thoughtful, his gaze directed away from the viewer. The artist’s signature, "Albert Sterner '46," appears in the lower right corner, adding an interesting compositional element to the piece. The portrait is rendered in a realistic style, with careful attention to detail and subtle shading, showcasing Sterner's mastery of this artistic medium. This work is a testament to the artist’s talent and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects through charcoal portraiture.
