Andrew Wyeth Pencil Signed And Numbered Lithograph "Millgirl At No. 4" Willimantic Mill Company

Titled "Millgirl at No. 4", this is a stunning image. Pencil signed and numbered, "101 / 1000", and "A.N. Wyeth". From Millmuseum.org:
"Wyeth has painted the employee entry to the
Willimantic Linen Company’s historic Mill No.
4 built by William Elliot Barrows in 1877. It
stood behind Mill No. 2 across the river with
access by bridge. Men and women originally ascended both sides of the staircase until a woman complained that someone had pinched her backside, and after that, men and women were required to ascend separate sides of the staircase. When Wyeth first saw this interior, he found that the original woodwork had been painted institutional green and gray/blue. He re-created the natural wood tones as in the Dunham library in the present Textile Museum.

Notes: Light wear from age.
