Wolcott received two degrees from Harvard University: a Bachelor of Arts and a Masters in Education. He graduated from Harvard University in 1914.

While there he studied drawing and painting with Charles Woodbury (1864-1940), and continued his studies with Woodbury after graduation. Wolcott also studied with Denman Waldo Ross (1853-1935) and William Worcester Churchill (1858-1926).

He was on the staff of the Harvard Lampoon as a cartoonist and writer. His work at Harvard included copying the past masters at the Museum of Fine Arts to learn portraiture. His copy of Major Henry Lee Higginson by John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) is owned by the New England Conservatory.

While living in Lowell, Wolcott once noted that an artist has not need to travel afar for his subjects, since this city contains subjects for landscape work that outshine the material found in several notable places to which artists go for inspiration. (from The Lowell Sun , Nov. 3, 1934)

There is some damage to the left hand corner of the frame but the painting itself is in good order - a clear signature lower right corner
