Suzanne Chapman (1903-1990) was a watercolorist, draftsman, illustrator, and educator active in Boston, Massachusetts. Chapman helped to develop a method of rendering art objects in watercolor with great accuracy of color, texture, and form that was adopted by the Index of American Design in the 1930s for use by field artists. For most of her career, she was the principal illustrator of the voluminous excavation publications of the Egyptian Department of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Lucille H. Chapman, Suzanne Chapman's sister, donated the papers to the Archives of American Art in 1992 and 1993.
