Curatorial RemarksWyeth studied in Annisquam, a neighborhood in Gloucester, Massachusetts, the summer of 1901. The inscription is probably not contemporary with the drawing.
Other pen and ink drawings that probably date to the same time are NCW 2012, NCW 2625 (96.1.180), and from the collection of Andrew and Betsy Wyeth, NCW 2246.224, NCW 2246.226, NCW 2246.228 and NCW 2246.230.
