William Ruthven Wheeler was basically a portrait painter, but he did produce some
landscapes. His first instruction came at an early age from an itinerant miniature
painter, and he began his profession at the age of fifteen. At the age of 28 he
studied for a short time in Detroit under Alvan Bradish. He moved to Hartford,
Connecticut about 1862 and kept a studio there until 1893. A painting of Mount
Washington was listed in the first annual exhibition of the Hartford Art Association in
1872, but he had added landscapes to his repertoire as early as 1866.
