Curatorial RemarksJim Duff reports that in a conversation with Andrew and Betsy Wyeth, Andrew said that the drawing of him by Henriette sat on the mantle in the living room of the N. C. Wyeth house while he was growing up. Andrew Wyeth gave it to Betsy James as an engagement present in 1939. SIGNATURE
