Description
Antique Vintage 19th Century American Artist Peter Moran Drawing Signed Middle Right "PM", Pencil Sketch Study for a Painting, Landscape with Cows and Landscape with Trees, 8 1/2 x 11", 12 3/4 x 18 1/4" Framed.
Etcher, painter. The youngest of four Moran brothers, Peter was born in Lancashire, England, and came with his family to America in 1844. He was apprenticed to a lithographer at the age of sixteen but disliked the work and began to study with his brothers Thomas and Edward, who were both established artists in Philadelphia. Peter traveled to New Mexico in 1864 — seven years before Thomas’s first sketching trip to Yellowstone — and again in the early 1880s. Several more trips west were made in the company of his brothers. Peter was also known for paintings and etchings of animal subjects, drawn from the bucolic surroundings of Philadelphia, where he maintained a studio throughout his career.
