Glouchester, Massachussetts?

Looking at the internet for an American artist named Wybrants was difficult. In fact, the only thing close was on the site Historical Boy's Clothing, where there is a picture signed "Wybrant- Artist 1853".

The author of the site got his information in the same way I do, by finding what was available on the net. The source was an eBay sale, in which the seller said as much as he could about the painting. From that sale, one can infer that Wybrant painted in the Massachusetts area. That could make sense with the woman in my family painting-she was born in Conway, Franklin County, Massachusetts and its reasonable to think she visited home.

I found a painting online, similar to the one on Historical Boy's Clothing. The description: "Young boy holding a whip and standing beside a horse pull toy, signed in the lower left "Wybrants -Artist 1853"...Provenance: The Estate of the Late Eleanor D. Pancoast, Birmingham, Michigan."

Place where painting was painted, unknown.
