Anna Richards Brewster (1870–1952) was an American painter.
Biography
She was born in Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her parents were the poet and playwright Anna Matlack and the landscape painter William Trost Richards. She studied at Cowles Art school, and with William Merritt Chase.
Brewster illustrated several publications in collaboration with her mother Anna Matlack throughout the 1890s, including A New Alice in the Old Wonderland in 1895, Letter and spirit, dramatic sonnets of inward life, published 1898, and a translation of a German folktale, Sintram and His Companions, published in 1900.
In 1905, she married the literature professor William Tenney Brewster, who thereafter encouraged her to paint, although she stopped showing her work after the death of their son in 1910. She is known for sculptures and illustrations as well as paintings.[1][2]
Like many American artists at the turn of the 20th century, Brewster made paintings of scenes from her travels; the Huntsville Museum of Art has one of fishermen in Volendam.[1] After her death in 1952, her husband gave much of her work to public and private institutions.[3]
