[copy of Sheeler painting] c. 1912

This charcoal drawing by Charles Sheeler, titled "[copy of Sheeler painting]", depicts a still life of common household objects. Executed in a simplified, geometric style, the artwork emphasizes the formal qualities of its subject matter. The composition, characterized by strong contrasts of light and dark, reflects the influence of Cubism, a prominent art movement of the early 20th century. This drawing, dated c. 1912, showcases Sheeler's early exploration of the modernist aesthetic, paving the way for his later, more iconic works.
