Augusta Isabella Corson Metcalfe (American, 1881-1971). "Homestead Scene" lithograph, 1952. Signed and dated on the lower right. Augusta Metcalfe lived the ranch lifestyle, roping and branding calves and attending to the needs of her family's ranch, but at the end of the day she would create art inspired by what she had experienced and seen. In her words, "Few of us can escape primeval sentence that we shall live by the sweat of our brows, but all of us, even though our lots be cast in scenes of isolation and hardship, where books and music and art are little known, and perhaps a common schooling not always to be had, may reach out for themselves and rise about the daily grind of household duty to seek for the beautiful and claim it for our own."
