Irving Ramsey Wiles

Irving Ramsey Wiles (April 8, 1861 - 1948) was an American artist, born in Utica, New York.

He was educated at the Sedgwick Institute in Great Barrington, and learned the basics of painting from his father, Lemuel Maynard Wiles (1826-1905), who focused primarily on landscapes. From 1879 to 1881 he studied in the Art Students League of New York under James Carroll Beckwith and William Merritt Chase, and later in Paris under Carolus-Duran.

In his early years he worked as an illustrator for American magazines, and later he devoted himself with great success to portraiture. He was a member of the Society of American Artists, which prefaced his 1897 election into the National Academy of Design as an associate. [Chase, William Merritt. "Letter to Artists," 467. Described in "Painting Professionals: Women Artists and the Development of Modern American Art, 1870-1930", 84 (Swinth, Kirsten; ISBN 0-8078-4971-5).] Wiles was also a member of the American Water Color Society.

His paintings include "Russian Tea", "Lady at Fireplace", and "Scallop Boats, Peconic".
