Telemachus in the Chariot of Nestor, N. C. Wyeth Odyssey Framed Print (1929)
Telemachus has a famous name, an absent father and a house full of men drinking his inheritance. Now there are horses and a road, and he may have to become someone before his father comes home.
For a young person setting out, or anyone who finally left the house to find their own way.
Ready to hang: an 8 × 10 in framed print in a white or black wood frame. At home in an entryway or a first apartment, or as a gift for a graduate or a son heading out.
