A soothing Saturday scene by the late American realist painter Andrew Wyeth, doyen of landscape painting and evocative figurative depictions alike. This stirring work was made in Maine, one of Wyeth’s favourite places to paint, at the house of his friends Christina and Alvaro Olson (the former of whom would frequently model for him). It shows the Olsons’ attic window, replete with billowing net curtains and a calming view of the coastline beyond, exemplifying Wyeth’s skill for capturing delicate textures and natural light.
