The Trial of the Bow, N. C. Wyeth Odyssey Framed Print (1929)
The men in the hall have been arguing over who deserves the house. One by one they fail to string the old bow, and then it returns to the hands that know it.
For someone who has grown tired of explaining what they can do, and would rather simply do it.
Ready to hang: an 8 × 10 in framed print in a white or black wood frame. At home in a study or office, or as a gift for someone whose skill speaks for itself.
