Curatorial RemarksBetsy James Wyeth felt that this drawing dated about 1900; certainly by 1901, NCW was studying with Charles Wellington Reed, most likely the model. The paper is torn from a sketchbook, possibly an early one now owned by the Brandywine River Museum of Art (87.2.A-BT). The piece relates to NCW 2246.269 and NCW 2533 (BRMA 96.1.154).
