Helen Maria Turner
American, 1858-1958

The Young Mother No. 1, 1923
Oil on canvas

Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Bellman for the J.J.
Haverty Collection in memory of Miss Mary E. Haverty,

J. J. Haverty purchased this work three years after it
was completed. The sitter, absorbed in her sewing,
reflects Helen Maria Turner’s comment that
"when a woman is most herself, when she is most
simple and natural, she is most beautiful."
