Note du spécialiste

This work will be included in Betsy James Wyeth's forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the artist's work.

The present work was executed by a young Andrew Wyeth while summering in Maine. The Wyeth family became friends with the Gillie family and Andrew, having a crush on Mrs. Agnes Gillie, slipped Bait House (lot 44) and Marshall Point Light, Port Clyde, Maine under her dinner plate one night.
