City Watchman by William P. Chappel (around 1870) (Metropolitan Museum of Art) |
Toward the end of his life, William P. Chappel painted scenes of early nineteenth-century New York City, which he recalled from his childhood. The oil paintings are small, no larger than 7"x 10", and meticulously detailed.
