The Boar Hunt, N. C. Wyeth Odyssey Framed Print (1929)
Long before the siege and the shipwrecks, a young Odysseus meets a boar in the undergrowth and comes away scarred. Years later, that scar will speak for him when his face no longer can.
For someone whose marks were earned the hard way, and still tell the truth about them.
Ready to hang: an 8 × 10 in framed print in a white or black wood frame. At home in a den, hallway or study, or as a gift for someone who carries an old scar with pride.
