In 1853, the American Art Union purchased one of his early pictures which financed six months of studying art in England. He concluded this period of his training with a sketching tour of the Lake District, Scotland and Ireland.[4]
After coming back to the USA,[5] Boughton exhibited his works in Washington, D.C.
and New York, but in the late 1850s he finally made a decision to move to Europe. From 1859-1861 he studied art in France
