Curatorial RemarksThis piece was removed from the N. C. Wyeth studio in September 1995. In February 2008 it was examined by Andrew Wyeth who attributed the work to N. C. Wyeth.
The young man may be Wyeth's cousin Henry Holzer. The figure is similar to Holzer, who is identified in a photograph in the Wyeth Family Archives.
