Early 20th century original print by William Anderson Sherwood. The piece is a view of Wall Street prominently featuring Trinity Church, the New York Stock Exchange and Federal Hall where George Washington took the Oath of Office.The façade of the building and the statue of Washington are featured prominently looking over the pedestrians on the street. The print is drawn with a loose sketchy style that suggests bright sunlight and emphasizes the unifying play of light and shadow. It is signed lower right, accompanied by the artist’s embossed insignia stamp.
William Anderson Sherwood was an American etcher and painter known for his landscapes and architecturals as well as figures. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, he established himself in Belgium and at his death was living in Bruges. In the U.S., he joined the Society of Independent Artists, the Chicago Society of Etchers (an organization that exhibited fine art etchings across America), the California Printmakers and the American Federation of Arts. He joined Belgian artist organizations, including the Société Royale des Beaux-Arts Belge (Belgian Royal Society of Beaux-Arts), and the Sociéte Royale des Aqua-Fortists Belgique (Belgium Royal Watercolorists Society) and was honored as a Chevalier of the Order of the Crown. In Belgium, his etchings are in the collections of the Dowager Queen of Belgium, the Royal Library in Brussels, and the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp. In the U.S., they have been collected by the National Gallery of Art, National Museum of American Art and Art Institute of Chicago, among other museums and libraries. less
