George Hollingsworth (1813–1882) was an American artist, teacher, and administrator active in Massachusetts.
His father, Mark Hollingsworth, was part owner of Tileston & Hollingsworth, a paper manufacturing firm.[1] George completed his studies in Europe.[1] For 28 years he managed and taught at the Lowell Institute, which began admitting women students at his suggestion.[2] He was affiliated with the Boston Artists' Association.[3][4]
He lived in Milton, and kept a studio in Boston on Washington Street (c. 1848–1868).[5] His paintings Portrait of the Hollingsworth Family (c. 1840) and The Hollingsworth Home in Milton (1840s) are in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
