At the expiration of this term he was a pupil under Charles Hine for three years. He then studied in Europe for one year, after which he went to Portland, Maine, where, in 1859, he gained the state medal. He painted for two years in Washington, D. C., one year in Cuba, and then resided in New York. In 1875 he was elected an associate of the National academy. His most famous portrait was Abraham Lincoln. |
