I remember seeing this painting in MoMA, yet forgot the painter’s and painting’s name. Any help?

If you are interested, the house in the painting is still standing and is open to the public. Andrew Wyeth did many paintings there. Many of them were done on the inside. As you walk around, copies of the paintings are placed so that you can look at the original setting and the painting of that setting at the same time.

Christina was Christina Olsen and the house is known as [“the Olsen House.”](http://www.eriesargonaut.net/Wyeth-Maine/) It’s in mid-coastal Maine.
