Abraham Archibald Anderson (1846-1940) was an American artist and philanthropist whose multi-faceted activities included national park administration, city politics and aviation. He was primarily based in New York City where he earned a reputation for his portrait painting. He exhibited at the National Academy of Design beginning 1873. As part of his art training, he spent much time between 1873 and 1883 in Paris where he was a student of Leon Bonnat, Raphael Collin, Fernand Cormon and Auguste Rodin.
Returning to the United States in the summers, Anderson bought land in northwestern Wyoming, which he developed into ranch. He played a significant role in the preservation and development of the Yellowstone region. In 1902 he was appointed by president Theodore Roosvelt as forest superintendent for seven years.
The painting is well presented in an oval giltwood frame, ready for display.
