William Fitler was bon in Philadelphia in 1857 and studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He painted throughout the northeast, equally competent in oil and watercolor. Fitler and his wife, who used the name Claude Raquet Hirst and was a well known painter of still lifes, maintained studios in New York City. Fitler exhibited at the Brooklyn Art Association, the National Academy of Design, the Pennsylvania Academy, the Boston Art Club, and the Chicago Art Institute. He was a member of the Brooklyn Art Association, the New York Watercolor Club, and the Salmagundi Club.

Fitler’s favorite composition was some version of a soft tonal landscape with a stream cutting through gently rolling terrain. His work can be found in the Butler Institute, the Hudson River Museum, and the Mariner’s Museum (Newport News).
