The Brandywine River Museum of Art in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, presents 20 drawings and paintings by the late American realist painter Andrew Wyeth. All of the art exhibited depicts Andrew’s wife, Betsy, or the places and objects she held dear. The small exhibition is a tender tribute to Betsy, who passed away on April 21, 2020.
