unspecified
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Offering is a 1915 unspecified by Charles Webster Hawthorne, a American Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a woman holding a baby, surrounded by three children. The woman is dressed in dark attire, while the children wear dark and red clothing. The baby is clad in a white dress. The background of the painting features a green wall. A notable detail in the painting is the way the artist has used light and shadow to create depth and dimension. The woman's face and the baby's dress are illuminated, drawing the viewer's attention to these central figures. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Charles W. Hawthorne (American, 1872–1930).
Charles Webster Hawthorne (January 8, 1872 – November 29, 1930) was an American portrait and genre painter and a noted teacher who founded the Cape Cod School of Art in 1899.
