The present work depicts Walt Anderson on Horse Point, Port Clyde, Maine looking across to Little Caldwell Island. Anderson was a close friend and frequent model for Wyeth, who the artist described as "a wonderful Maine boy, part American Indian, part Finnish. I knew him from when he was thirteen and we sailed together and fooled around in boats and dories." (Andrew Wyeth: Autobiography, Kansas City, Missouri, 1995, p. 69)
