Milton Historical Society Receives Watercolor Painting

Milton Historical Society member Richard Kenworthy recently donated a framed 19th century watercolor to the historical society at the Suffolk Resolves Open House.

The painting by David Claypoole Johnston, a well-known landscape and portrait painter, is described as “View Between Dorchester and Milton, Massachusetts."

According to the Milton Historical Society, David Claypoole Johnston lived from 1798 to 1865 and was the "first natively trained American to master all the various graphic arts processes of lighography, etching, metal plate engraving, and wood engraving."
