N. C. Wyeth (1882-1945) untitled (drawing of a nude female, waist to head) date unknown Graphite on paper, 7 3/4 x 9 3/4 in. (19.6 x 24.7 cm) Collection of William John Pignonello NCW NUMBER 2618 TITLE untitled (drawing of a nude female, waist to head) MEDIUM Graphite on paper DATE not dated PROVENANCE The artist; Mrs. N. C. Wyeth; Carolyn Wyeth to 1977; (Frank E. Fowler, 1977) CURATORIAL COMMENT These figures do not relate closely to figures in any known work. The drawing calls to mind the figures of the sirens in Wyeth's 1929 "The Sirens" (NCW 588), however, on closer examination the figures in the present work are differently oriented. The drawing came from the N. C. Wyeth studio collection; most of those drawings date from the later portion of Wyeth's career. IMAGE SOURCE photography from artwork PHOTO CREDIT courtesy of owner
