Curatorial RemarksBy this time in his career, Wyeth was generally using lantern slides to transfer an image drawn in charcoal or pencil to a canvas or panel support. While lantern slides of two images for The Yearling are known, no lantern slide for this particular image was found in the artist's studio.
