Sarah Fairchild was an American amateur artist working in the mid-nineteenth century, known chiefly for her view Union Park, New York, made around 1845 and now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Executed in watercolor, gouache, pen and ink, and graphite, the picture records the newly laid out park at Union Square, including the fountain built in 1842 to mark the completion of the Croton Aqueduct that supplied the city with water. Little is documented about her life. The surviving cityscape shows the close, observant detail characteristic of nineteenth-century American amateur painting.
