Greenwood was the son and grandson of prosperous Boston shipwrights. He was apprenticed to the engraver and japanner Thomas Johnston for three years, and then began his career as a portrait painter. In 1752, he sailed for Surinam and did not return to America. He painted more than one hundred portraits, and in his later years (after 1773) was a dealer in art objects in London, where he died.
