My grandma had a copy in her living room. I always thought it was an oddly depressing painting to have in such a prominent place. No one ever really questioned it

Yeah my grandma had a copy in her very stuffy living room. I still find the pairing oddly disquieting.

I much prefer his dog painting- master bedroom- https://wyethprintgallery.com/product/master-bedroom/

Whaaaat she had the dog painting too! I didn't know they were done by the same artist. When I was a kid I would imagine that one of the upper floor windows of the farmhouse was the same window from the dog painting.

My grandma had one in the dinning room, too. I never really got it.

My mom loved this pairing as well. I find it so interesting that all these older women liked this painting. I wonder what the draw was? What did they see? I always thought it was weird but didn’t know the back story.
