Originally completed in 1975 during a secluded winter in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, The Quaker is one of Wyeth’s most personal and emotionally resonant paintings—featuring two coats hanging in quiet contemplation, evoking memory, solitude, and simplicity.

This special print was produced by Triton Press under the direction of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for Wyeth’s landmark retrospective. Only a single edition was authorized, with no future prints to ever be made. The master printer Harry Lerner oversaw painstaking proofing and color matching to honor the tonal precision and atmospheric depth of Wyeth’s original egg-tempera masterpiece.

The piece is beautifully matted and housed in a richly textured, carved wood frame with gilt inner molding. The print bears the embossed Triton Press seal and includes provenance literature, further validating its rarity and significance.

According to the detailed provenance in your first image, "The Quaker" was reproduced by Triton Press using a multi-step, high-fidelity fine art printing process under the supervision of both Andrew Wyeth and Harry Lerner (the master printer). The process emphasized matching the egg-tempera texture and earth tones of the original, including:
