Curatorial RemarksFrom works taken from the mantle of N.C. Wyeth's home, March 7, 1995; Historically this self-portrait has been displayed on the mantle in the living room of the artist's home. It is readily recognizable in Andrew Wyeth's "Before Six," a view of the living room (reproduced in Martha Severens, "Andrew Wyeth, America's Painter, New York: Hudson Hills Press, 1996, no. 6).
