專家說明

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


The present work depicts Sherwood Cook's dock in Martinsville, Maine. Cook was married to Gwendolyn James, the sister of Andrew Wyeth's wife Betsy. Following a successful career in New York City and service with the Navy, Cook returned to Maine to manage his family's lobster business. Wyeth's brother-in-law and his lobster buoys provided inspiration for the artist on a number of occasions.
