Curatorial RemarksWhen this image was reproduced on the cover of New Story Magazine, the credit "PAINTED BY / N. C. WYETH" appeared in the lower right corner, written in a hand other than the artist's. That inscription was still visible in photographs taken in 1987, but "PAINTED BY" was removed by 1990.
