Walcott was the second of six children and he was born in Torrington, Connecticut, where his father had moved to take a position as clergyman. He grew up in Torrington and then in Bergen, County, New Jersey where his father had moved to take a position as pastor of First Presbyterian Church in 1876, when he was six and then 1st Congregational Church where he remained until his death more than forty years later.〔Billings Family Records, Descendants of settler Roger Billings, available online.〕 Walcott was artistically talented and he attended the School of the National Academy of Design, where he studied under Will Low and received a classical French Atelier Style education. Walcott won the prestigious Havermeyer Traveling Scholarship in 1894, which allowed him to travel to France for artistic training.〔New York Times, May 12, 1894, available online, no page available.〕 In France, he studied at the private Académie Julian with Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant and Jean-Paul Laurens.〔These teachers are in the standard references as well as the 1901 Art Institute of Chicago Annual Exhibition of American Painting and Sculpture catalog.〕
