Signed "Carl W Peters", lower right. Framed behind glass in a period wood frame. Carl William Peters (American, 18971980) was born in Upstate New York. He was a pupil of noted American artists Charles Rosen, Harry Leith-Ross, and John Fabian Carlson. A respected member of the artistic community in Rochester, NY, he belonged to many professional organizations, including the American Federation of Artists, the Rochester Art Club, the Rockport Art Association, and the American Watercolor Society. Carl W. Peters was a well-known American Regionalist painter. He was born in Rochester in 1897 and in 1911 moved to a small farm in Fairport, which inspired in him a deep love of rural scenery. As an adolescent he also drew much inspiration from the new Memorial Art Gallery and had established his own studio in Rochester by age seventeen and described himself as an "artist" in the city directory. With the outbreak of World War I Peters left high school to attend the Mechanics Institute, now the Rochester Institute of Technology, where he studied anatomy, perspective, and illustration. After his brief overseas service he moved to New York City and became an art student. Having grown fond of the art colony life, he moved to Gloucester, Massachusetts in 1925.
