Summary:
N.C. Wyeth (attrib) “The Pay Stage” Oil on Canvas Painting. Apocryphal “Frederic Remington” signature lower right….no clue why it is there.

Notes: Wyeth occasionally painted second versions of original works for private commissions or his own satisfaction. One notable example involves an illustration originally created in 1906 for The Last of the Mohicans: original first version done in 1906 and a last recognized version done in 1939.

While he did not create identical "second versions" in the sense of a machine-made copy (forgeries of his work do exist and are identifiable by experts as they lack his fluid style), he did create multiple, distinct, authentic original artworks based on the same subject or preliminary sketches.
