Seaside Sheep Pastures

after 1906
20th Century
24 1/8 in. x 36 1/4 in.

Carleton Wiggins, American, (March 4, 1848–June 11, 1932)

Medium and Support: oil on canvas
Credit Line: Florence Griswold Museum, Gift of The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company
Accession Number: 2002.1.167
A fine example of Wiggins' mature style with the characteristic "Inness greens" and soft focus atmosphere much in evidence. "Seaside Sheep Pastures" is more of a landscape painting depicting sheep grazing than strictly a "portrait" of grazing sheep, a genre for which Wiggins and fellow Lyme artists Matilda Browne and William Henry Howe were widely regarded at the time.
