Portrait, genre, and landscape painter.
He displayed decided talents for art as a lad, and studied under John Wesley Jarvis in New York. He went to Europe in 1845, remaining about a year in England, painting during that period Wordsworth, Macaulay, Dr. Thomas Chalmers, and others. He numbered among his sitters in America many distinguished men, and his portraits are in the Boston Athe-naeum, New York City Hall, and elsewhere throughout the country. Among his landscapes are, " Rydal Falls, England," and " October Afternoon," one of his latest works. He painted also " The News-Boy," " Rip Van Winkle," " The Boyhood of Washington," and kindred works. His " Ruins of Brambletye House," from the collection of Charles M. Leupp, at the Johnston sale in New York, 1876, was bought by William E. Dodge.
