Curatorial RemarksThis painting was offered to Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Wyeth in 1995 with the title "Zirngiebel's Barns." The Wyeths quickly identified the setting as Chadds Ford, and the painting was purchased by the present owner as "Chadds Ford Barn and Springhouse." Andrew Wyeth suggested that the location may be structures that stood directly opposite the John Chad House, north of Chadds Ford on Creek Road.
