BIOGRAPHY:
William T. Aldrich, a 20th century Boston painter, was a member of the Providence Art Club. Although more prolific in watercolor, he apparently also painted in oil as the Fogg Museum has in their collection an oil portrait on canvas by him of Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich (1841-1915).
Some of the subject matter in Aldrich's paintings includes figures, children, recreation, sports, swimming, architecture, boats, and waterscapes.
Museum collections include the Whistler House Museum of Art in Lowell, MA; three watercolors and one oil in the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA; and five watercolors in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA.
