In this very early depiction of Chadds Ford, N. C. Wyeth examines the landscape around his new surroundings. Though Wyeth settled in nearby Wilmington, Delaware, Chadds Ford was the location of famed illustrator Howard Pyle’s summer school, which Wyeth attended. Having only recently moved from Needham, Massachusetts, he painted this work to send back home to his parents to show them his new environs. After Wyeth married Carolyn Bockius, the couple moved to Chadds Ford in 1908, where the Wyeths would eventually build a home and raise their family.
