Curatorial RemarksThis is a student work, done before Wyeth joined the Howard Pyle school in the fall of 1902. It may have been done at Massachusetts Normal Art School during the spring 1900 session for a class described as "Model, charcoal," or done at the Eric Pape School during the fall 1900 session. NCW1561 and 1563 may have been executed in the same class.
The drawing was one of 16 sold by Nicholas Wyeth in July 1972 to Aldis Brown of New York. Of the 16 drawings, 7 were typical academic figure studies, and may have been done in the same class. See NCW 1475, 1528, 1529, 1532, 1561, and 1563.
