BIOGRAPHY
William Rowell Derrick was born in San Francisco. He studied in Paris during the years 1879-1885 with Gustave Boulanger, Jules Lefebvre and Léon Bonnat. He exhibited a work at the Paris Salon in 1885 prior to returning for a time to the Monterey Peninsula in California in 1890. Derrick subsequently moved to New York, where he was elected an Associate Member of the National Academy of Design, and remained in the area for the rest of his life. In 1916 the  artist received an award from the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts for his painting The Plaza, which is now in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. An exhibition dedicated to his work was held at the Findlay Gallery in New York in 1940.
