IThe Museum was recently fortunate to acquire a group of 27 oil studies by landscape painter Lockwood de Forest (1850–1932). Dating from 1874 to 1911, these beautiful plein air sketches are being exhibited for the first time in this installation. De Forest was also a partner in Louis Tiffany’s early decorating businesses. He organized a woodcarving workshop in India and functioned as an importer of various components particularly important to Tiffany’s interiors.
