Artist

William Henry Lake Price

William Henry Lake Price is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

London photographer William Henry Lake Price made early photographs that feel like paintings. His 1855 *Don Quixote in His Study* shows the famous knight dwarfed by towering books and armor, while his 1857 portrait captures painter Richard Ansdell in a soft, painterly light. Both prints mix portrait and costume drama common in mid-1800s photography. Tap the knight’s cluttered study to see how Price staged his scenes to look like oil paintings.
