William Keith (American 1838-1911) Oil on canvas Figure in Oak Woods Signed lower right 10 1/2in. x 6 3/4in. (27cm. x 17cm) Framed: 17in. x 13in. (43cm. x 33cm) A 19th-century leading artist and visionary in San Francisco, William Keith (1838-1911) is most known for his impact on preserving and sharing the California landscape. Keith's early training as a wood engraver encouraged him to reproduce the exact topography and details of a landscape early in his career. Keith had also already expressed a preference by 1870 to "study altogether from Nature," reflecting in part the admonishments of the influential writer John Ruskin.
