Curatorial RemarksThe artist painted at least two "portraits" of this dog (see NCW 397), a pedigreed pointer owned by a West Brimfield, MA, resident. Wyeth, his brothers, and a friend met the dog during an April, 1902, walking trip. The trip is chronicled in letters published by Betsy James Wyeth (The Wyeths, The Letters of N. C. Wyeth, 1901-1945, Boston: Gambit, 1971, ps. 13-14).
