William Harry Warry Bicknell (W.H.W.) was a famed artist that has exhibited in various public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian. A native of Boston, Bicknell permanently moved to Winchester but kept a studio in Provincetown. Though he had some works of portraiture, he was most well known for his etching. His two pieces in this collection exhibit his mastery of fine line detail and texture, utilized to illuminate the concentration of light and dark.
