拍品資料及來源

Executed in the spring of 1964, The Bachelor depicts a shirt hanging on Chris Sanderson's back porch in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. Sanderson was a local historian, teacher and friend of Andrew Wyeth. His porch served as the subject of at least one other work by the artist. 

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