Sample (1896-1974) was an American artist who portrayed life in New England in the mid-20th century with a style that showed elements of Social Realism and Regionalism.

Sample studied drawing and painting under Jonas Lie at Saranac Lake, New York, and studied at the Art Students League of Los Angeles and the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles. In 1926 Sample joined the faculty of the University of Southern California in the school of architecture, where he remained until 1938. In 1938, he returned to New Hampshire to become the artist in residence at Dartmouth College, a position which he held until 1962. In addition to his social and regional paintings, Sample produced artwork for various magazines during World War II.
