SHURTLEFF, Roswell Morse, artist, born in Rindge, Cheshire County, New Hampshire, 14 June, 1838. About 1857 he went to Buffalo, where for two years he studied drawing. In 1859 he was in Boston, studying at the Lowell institute, and drawing on wood for John Andrew. In 1861 he enlisted in the National army, and he afterward continued to furnish drawings to various periodicals and to the wood-engravers. About 1870 he began to devote himself entirely to painting. His animal paintings first gained him distinction, and of these the best known are "The Wolf at the Door" and "A Race for Life" (1878). Among his later works in oil, most of which are scenes in the Adirondacks, are "On the Alert" (1879) ; "Autumn Gold" (1880) ; "Gleams of Sunshine" (1881) ; and "A Song of Summer Woods" (1886). His watercolors include "Harvest Time," " Basin Harbor, Lake Champlain," and "The Morning Draught" (1881), and "A Mountain Pasture" (1882). He was elected an associate of the National academy in 1880, and is a member of the Water-color society.
