Thomas Doughty, born in Philadelphia on July 19, 1793, was a prominent landscape painter of the Hudson River School who worked
in Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, New York, and Washington, D.C. In September 1830, he returned to Philadelphia from Boston
and worked from a studio at the lithographic establishment of C. G. Childs, later Childs & Inman, at 80 Walnut Street. During
the early 1830s, he drew a number of local and regional scenic views printed by the Childs firm. In 1832, Doughty relocated
his residence to Boston and in the ensuing years lived and worked in Europe and New York. Doughty was also a member of the
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the National Academy of Design, where he exhibited frequently in addition to several
other venues. Doughty died on July 22, 1856. He was married to Sarah (b. ca. 1800) with whom he had three children.
