List of other works of art by Frank Weston Benson explained

Frank Weston Benson made portraits, landscapes, seascapes, murals, and paintings of interiors and still life. He also made other works of art including etchings.

While Benson studied at the Académie Julian in Paris, he made the small Impressionistic oil painting, Paris Parade.
