Henriette Wyeth


Henriette Wyeth Hurd was an American artist noted for her portraits and still life paintings.

She was born in Wilmington, Delaware, the eldest of the five children of illustrator N.C. Wyeth and his wife Carolyn Bockius. Her siblings Carolyn Wyeth and Andrew Wyeth also became artists. She contracted polio at age 3, which altered her right hand. As a result, she learned to draw with her left and paint with her right. She grew up on the familys farm in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and attended local Quaker schools. She began studying with her father at age 11. At age 13, she was enrolled in the Normal Arts School in Boston, Massachusetts. She subsequently studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
