WILLIAM REUBEN CLARK WOOD
American, 1875–1915
A noted scenic landscape painterOil pastel on paper by the American artist Leon Dolice. Signed lower right. Condition is excellent.

Overall 18.75 by 14 inches. Condition of frame is very good to excellent.
W.R.C. Wood - as he signed his name - was born in Washington, D. C. in 1875. He was a pupil of Samuel E. Whiteman (1860 - 1922), an earlier Baltimore artist.
William Wood regularly spent summers on Prudence Island in Narragansett Bay off Rhode Island. He also was an avid supporter of the arts locally, being a member of numerous organizations: the Charcoal Club, begun in 1885, who held monthly meetings and also maintained an art school; the Baltimore Water Color Club, begun in 1892, of which he was also President for a time; and the Municipal Art Society of Baltimore, begun in 1899, that was "founded by a group of private citizens who desired to improve the public environment of the city."
The artist also exhibited with the Baltimore Art Club in 1905 thru 1907.
He died at his home of many years - 2034 Park Avenue - in Baltimore in 1915.

See signatures photo's. Circa 1920 to 1930. Recently lightly cleaned and gold leaf frame custom made for the painting. Overall 27 by 37 inches. Some craquelure; mainly in sky.

He was born in Greenwich, New Jersey, a town on the Delaware River below Philadelphia, which has been associated with ships and shipping since the earliest Colonial times. His father was a sea captain and the young Sheppard took many voyages with his father to make artistic studies. He learned perspective drawing at Cooper Union in New York City in addition to his studies with de Haas. In 1879, he spent four months sketching Mediterranean port cities including Gibraltar, Genoa, Naples and Messina in Sicily. Between 1888 and 1893, he also studied painting in Venice and Paris. By the time he was in his mid-thirties, he had established himself as a successful illustrator and painter. The yachts he painted were the most lavish of his day, owned by the wealthiest of men. He was an expert in the design and rigging of ships of present and earlier times. His work was highly regarded for its authenticity as well as its artistic merit.Sheppard was also an expert navigator and sailed a number of famous yachts in races.
