Carleton Wiggins was an American landscape and cattle painter. He was born in Turner, Orange County, New York, and studied in New York at the National Academy of Design and with George Inness, and in Paris, and settled in New York. His landscapes were executed in broad flowing lines, with a rich low-toned color scheme, and often contain cattle, solidly and realistically portrayed.
He was born in 1848. Wiggins frequented the Old Lyme Art Colony along with his son, painter Guy Carleton Wiggins, and was elected to the National Academy of Design in 1906. He died in 1932.
