Henry Webster Rice was born in 1853 in Pownal, Maine, and lived in Watertown, Massachusetts. He studied with Ross Serling Turner and in 1919 his address was recorded as Fenway Studios, 30 Ipswich Street, Boston according to American Art Annual.
Rice was a watercolorist, teacher, and a member of both the Boston Society of Watercolor Painters and the Guild of Boston Artists. He exhibited at the American Watercolor Society, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Art Institute of Chicago, and other galleries. Examples of his work are held by the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, The William A. Farnsworth Library and Art Museum in Rockland, and the Portland Museum of Art (both in Maine), and Washington Universitys Henry Gallery in Seattle, Washington.
Rice is listed in Who Was Who in American Art, where he is further noted as a teacher. He visited Bermuda in 1913 and painted several watercolors there that year, though it is very possible he made other visits to Bermuda. He produced an oeuvre of vibrant paintings and watercolors of the New England shoreline. Examples of his work are in the collection of The Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts. Rice died in 1934.
