Curatorial RemarksThis image is known only through a 24 x 24 inch photograph of the drawing, found in the artist's studio and now held by the Brandywine River Museum. Pencilled below the image on the photographic print in N. C. Wyeth's hand are the words "Biology" and "Greater Vision." The misspelling of metallurgy is corrected with an arrow and an additional "L". The drawing itself, a related painting, or evidence of the use of the this design has not come to light.
