Portrait of a Young Woman

Samuel Worcester Rowse

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

A friend of Eastman Johnson's, Rowse worked in a manner similar to that of the better-known artist and, like Johnson, preferred to draw with charcoal and pastel rather than graphite. Unlike Johnson, however, Rowse was principally a lithographer and is not known to have used his drawings as studies for paintings.

The American Wing's ever-evolving collection comprises some 20,000 works of art by African American, Euro American, Latin American, and Native American men and women. Ranging from the colonial to early-modern periods, the holdings include painting, sculpture, works on paper, and decorative arts—including furniture, textiles, ceramics, glass, silver, metalwork, jewelry, basketry, quill and bead embroidery—as well as historical interiors and architectural fragments.
