Charles Vezin was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1858 and worked at a dry-goods firm for the first part of his career. He then began painting, dedicating himself to art for the remainder of his life. He studied at the Art Students League in New York, where he would later serve as president from 1911-15. Vezin is known for his Impressionistic scenes of the New York skyline, such as the present work.
