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

    Richards began to draw in his childhood, and although he lived on the East Coast most of his life, he traveled to Europe more than 15 times, producing numerous studies in fair and foul weather. Seascapes were his favorite subject, and his watercolors and oils contain views of both smooth and turbulent waters and the luminous sky.
