Curatorial RemarksWyeth is identified as the artist of this image by the typeset line "Painted by N. C. Wyeth" in the lower left corner of the reproduction.
The painting presently is dated according to the date of reproduction, but its similarity to NCW 497 must be noted. Country Gentleman and the Saturday Evening Post were both issued by the Curtis Publishing Company, and there is the possibility that this image originally may have been planned for the cover of another issue of Saturday Evening Post during the serialization of "The Partners."
