^Lot 687 N. C. Wyeth

Renowned American artist (1882–1945) and patriarch of a family of distinguished painters including son Andrew (born 1917) and grandson Jamie (born 1946). Best known for his illustrations for such classic literary works as Treasure Island, Last of the Mohicans, and Robinson Crusoe, Vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 photo of Wyeth’s work of a lobsterman at the helm of his boat, signed on the reverse in fountain pen, “Charlie Stone—Off Monhegan, 48? x 52? N. C. Wyeth.” In fine condition, with some scattered light soiling and a pencil notation to reverse and some light silvering to image. A scarce example and as close to a signed original Wyeth as you may see.
