Winter 1946

Winter 1946 is a 1946 painting by the American artist Andrew Wyeth.

It depicts a boy running down a hill in the winter.

It was the first tempera painting he made after the death of his father, N. C. Wyeth, who was hit by a train.

Andrew Wyeth said about the picture: "It was me, at a loss—that hand drifting in the air was my free soul, groping.

"[2] Behind the hill was the location where Wyeth's father had died.
