N.C. Wyeth's 'Independence Day' at Sotheby's Auction

N.C. Wyeth's painting 'Independence Day (At Concord Bridge)' was offered at a Sotheby's auction in 2021. The oil on canvas, measuring 33 x 30 inches, depicts the Colonial Militia at Concord's North Bridge on Independence Day, though the actual battle occurred in April 1775. Wyeth, a student of Howard Pyle, created several works about early American history. The painting's theme emphasizes courage against tyranny, corporate collusion, and state-imposed religion. The work is presumably in a private collection.
