Robert Reid was born in Stockbridge, Massachusetts and attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. In 1884 he moved to New York City, studying at the Art Students League, and in 1885 he went to Paris to study at the Académie Julian under Gustave Boulanger and Jules Joseph Lefebvre. His early paintings were figures of French peasants. Upon returning to New York in 1889, he worked as a portraitist and later became an instructor at the Art Students League and Cooper Union. Much of his art work centered on the depiction of young women set among flowers. His oil paintings tended to be very decorative. He contributed with others to the frescoes of the dome of the Liberal Arts Building at the Columbian Exposition, Chicago, in 1893. In 1897, Reid was a member of the Ten American Painters, who seceded from the Society of American Artists. In 1906 he became a full member of the National Academy of Design. He has work in the Congressional Library, Washington, D.C., the Appellate Court House, New York, and the State House, Boston. He died in Clifton Springs, New York.
