Curatorial RemarksThe size of this piece suggests a completed composition, rather than a study for a detail in a larger composition, but the image corresponds to no known painting. The proportions of the sheet would indicate a calendar illustration or magazine cover.
Most of the drawings found in Wyeth's studio after the death of Carolyn Wyeth date from the mid-1930s to 1945, a fact considered in the dating of this drawing.
