- Lot Description
Thomas Waterman Wood (American, 1823-1903 ) "Thinking it Over" 1884. Etching. Signed and dated in the plate on the lower left. A sophisticated etching by Thomas Waterman Wood, an important American genre and portrait painter, illustrator, and etcher. This composition depicts a craftsman in a shop holding a Boston newspaper Size: 13.25" L x 9.625" W (33.7 cm x 24.4 cm)
Thomas Waterman Wood grew up in Montpelier, Vermont and worked in his father's cabinet shop as a young man. He was largely self taught: painting signs, making patent drawings for inventors, and portraits. Scholars believe that he probably studied with Chester Harding in 1846 and 1847, and worked in Düsseldorf after that. He opened a New York studio by 1852, where he continued his portrait practice, and built a summer home with a view of Montpelier. Following a year abroad in Europe in 1857, he moved to the South and began creating genre works: popular interpretations of democratic America, honoring simple country life. After moving back to New York in 1866, he continued to paint these subjects. In 1871, Wood was elected to the National Academy of Design and served as NAD president for eight years. All the while, he still summered in Montpelier and later in life founded and donated his own collection to the town's Wood Art Gallery.
