Anna Richards Brewster
Anna Richards Brewster (1870—1952) was an American painter.
Biography
She was born in Germantown, Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of the poet and playwright Anna Matlack and the landscape painter William Trost Richards. In 1905, she married the literature professor William Tenney Brewster who encouraged her to paint after her marriage, though she stopped showing her work after the death of her son. She is known for sculptures and illustrations as well as paintings.[1]
Like many American artists at the turn of the 20th-century, she made paintings of her travels and the Huntsville Museum of Art has a scene of fishermen in Volendam.[1] After her death, her husband gave much of her work to public and private institutions.[2]
