Curatorial RemarksAndrew Wyeth identified the Needham location as the river front along the property owned by his great grandfather, Jean Denys Zirngiebel. The N. C. Wyeth family lived on that property from fall 1921 to summer 1923.;Note that in 2010 the owner and her sister supplied photocopies of all family correspondence relative to this painting and NCW 665. The material is filed in NCW 665.
