Frederick Knecht Detwiller (American, 1882-1953)


Born in 1882 in Easton, PA, Detwiller originally studied law at the behest of his parents. However, he soon chose to do what he enjoyed, and studied art and architecture at Columbia. He maintained studios throughout the tri-state area. Detwiller died in 1953 in New York City. One of his pieces is in the collection of the Annapolis Complex, and several of his works have sold at highly regarded auction houses like Skinner, Inc (Boston), Neal Auction (New Orleans), Swann Galleries (NYC), and Doyle New York.


Frederick Detwiller had an interesting way of dating his paintings - he would hide the date somewhere in the painting. In this particular piece, it is near the top, upside down [please view 3rd photograph].

This watercolor is in very good condition, framed and matted, under plexi. The only issue is a minor discoloration near the top that didn't show well in photographs.
