"In The Young Mother, Guston presented his wife Musa McKim and daughter Musa Jane, born in Iowa City in 1943, as a secular Madonna and Child with a faint reminder of the monumentality of Social Realism. A melancholy and lonely mood permeates the interior scene. Guston's wife Musa McKim was said to have had a quality of ""dreamy inwardness,"" which is suggested in the portrait. The assortment of earth and mineral-derived pigments—siennas, ochres, umbers, and blues—that Guston used, and the dry quality of the pigment, were also influenced by the materials and techniques of fresco mural and early Renaissance painting."
