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