enowned realist artist Jamie Wyeth, the third generation of the Wyeth painting dynasty, commissioned a Monhegan skiff from the Carpenter’s Boat Shop in Pemaquid, Maine, in 1984.

So it was pure chance when a board member from Carpenter’s Boat Shop stumbled upon the work in 2023 while visiting the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine.
