Notes: Sarah Long favors painting still lives where she explores the different textures of the assembled objects. As a teenager, Lamb attended an exhibition of the paintings in Washington, D.C. devoted to three generations of the Wyeth family artists. The experience was profound and encouraged her to follow the path of an artist.
Today, Long and her portraitist husband, David Larned, live in Houston and spend summers at their farm in Pennsylvania's Brandywine Valley, near the studio home of the late N. C. Wyeth. In this painting, "Homage to N. C. Wyeth", Long depicts herself at the easel in the reflection of the glass bottle and reveals the lasting influence of the Wyeth.

In overall good condition with no signs of past restoration. A few small surface marks. Frame with scattered marks and abrasions.
