Mrs. Glengowan and Daughter 1919

"Mrs. Glengowan and Daughter" is a 1919 engraving by Timothy Cole (1852-1931) depicting a woman and her daughter in a domestic setting. Cole is known for his highly detailed engravings and this piece is a fine example of that skill. The work is currently part of the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The careful shading and attention to detail give the engraving a sense of realism, and the subject matter evokes a sense of tenderness and family. Cole's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimension, and the overall effect is one of quiet intimacy. The artwork is a testament to Cole's mastery of the engraving technique, and a beautiful representation of the domestic bond between mother and daughter.
