“Daughters of Revolution” is a portrait painted in 1932 by the American artist Grant Wood. Created with oil on masonite, the artwork measures 101.6 by 50.8 cm. It is a fine example of the Regionalism art movement and is currently housed in the Cincinnati Art Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.
The artwork depicts three elderly women standing in a close formation in front of a backdrop that appears to be a painting, possibly of a historical scene involving American patriots. The women are characterized by their formal attire and serious expressions, each distinct, yet unified in their stoic presentation. The central figure holds a teacup, adding a domestic touch to the otherwise historical and formal ambiance conveyed. The meticulous detailing in the fabric patterns and the careful rendering of facial features showcase Grant Wood’s adept skill in portraiture and his dedication to capturing the essence of American regional identity.
