Thomas Waterman Wood, N.A. (American, 1823-1903), "Family Scene", oil on canvas, signed lower right, 22 in. x 27 1/4 in., framed Note: One of the most popular American artists of the 19th century, Thomas Waterman Wood began his career as a portraitist, painting not only wealthy white patrons, but also the free African-Americans who worked for a living on the streets of Baltimore. He continued this work in Kentucky throughout the Civil War, after which he turned his attentions to genre painting in New York City. Although he changed the subjects of his paintings, distinct similarities in his technique can still be noted, as well as the common theme, throughout his oeuvre, of the dignity of man regardless of age, wealth, or race.
