Henriette Wyeth Hurd
Henriette Wyeth Hurd was an American artist noted for her portraits and still life paintings, the eldest daughter of illustrator N.C. Wyeth. Deeply influenced by her father's unique realistic style, she rejected early 20th-century painting styles such as Impressionism and Cubism. She was also socially and politically conservative. As a result, later in life she rejected the progressive movements of the 1960s and 1970s, including the women's movement. Her work spanned portraits of adults and children, still lifes, and floral landscapes. Her most widely known work is the official White House portrait of First Lady Pat Nixon.
