The Last of the Chesnuts

Artist: N.C. Wyeth (American, 1882-1945)

Date: ca. 1916

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: The Brandywine Museum of Art, Chadds Ford, PA, United States

Description

The chestnut blight was accidentally introduced to the United States about 1904. Letters N. C. Wyeth wrote as early as March 1912, document the effect the chestnut blight had on the trees on his property in Chadds Ford: "Our chestnut trees are bound to go! So say the tree experts. It makes me sick to think of it" (Betsy James Wyeth, ed., The Wyeths, The Letters of N. C. Wyeth, 1901-1945. Boston: Gambit, 1971, p. 409)

this might be who i think it is.
