William Trost Richards - True to Nature: Drawings, Watercolors and Oil Sketches at Stanford University September 23, 2010

In 1992, M. J. and A. E. van Loben Sels gave the museum more than 230 works by William Trost Richards (1833-1905), an accomplished landscape and marine painter. This exhibition includes approximately 75 works, including pen and pencil drawings, watercolors, small oil studies, and a sketchbook, that reveal both his precise technique and his devotion to nature.
