Curatorial RemarksBetsy James Wyeth dated this drawing from Wyeth's student days at "Mechanic Arts High School, in 1900." Wyeth left Mechanic Arts in May, 1899, so either the date or the school association is incorrect. In this case, it would seem like her date is wrong, for Wyeth was indeed a student at Mechanic Arts High School in April of 1899 (see inscription above).
