s/o Thomas A Worrall and Elizabeth K Moore
Clarence Worrall (1858-1920) began his artistic career as a self-taught etcher. After 17 years of work as a printmaker he became interested in painting. He was a student of Eakins, Gerome and Benjamen at the Philadelphia Art Institute. Worrall moved to Asheville in 1898 for health reasons. In Asheville he founded the Asheville Academy of Fine Arts and School of Manual Training. He sought to document the beauty of the countryside. His work was well regarded. His masterpiece was "Asheville From Sunset Mountain" a 9 by 18 foot painting. This painting was taken on tour after its original showing in Asheville and was stolen.The pastel, likely a North Carolina landscape (he arrived in North Carolina in 1898), is similar to the works in the permanent collection of the Asheville Museum of Art.
