Thomas "Tom" Clark (1876-1962) was a farmer and resident of Chadds Ford who worked on several local farms and as a landscaper on other properties in the area. He was the subject of paintings by the brother-in-laws John McCoy and Andrew Wyeth from the 1950s until Clark’s death in 1962. In this tranquil, pastoral view, Clark is depicted in front of nearby Craigs Mill Run where the McCoy residence was located.
