We are grateful for the generous assistance of Mary Adam Landa, Wyeth Collection Manager, The Office of Andrew Wyeth LLC, for providing valuable information from the Wyeth archives, indispensable to the cataloguing of this lot, which will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the artist's work.

According to Mary Adam Landa, the present work was executed south of Andrew Wyeth's Chadds Ford studio, close to Route 100, and was likely done in winter, as Wyeth depicts ice on the banks of the river.
