A. W. King
A. W. King is a Realism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Library of Wales.
A.W. King painted oil portraits in mid-1800s Britain, leaving sharp-lined likenesses of sitters against plain backdrops. In the collection you’ll find his 1853 Portrait of a gentleman, aged 34, where a man in a dark coat meets the viewer with steady eyes and folded hands. Tap the painting to zoom in on the brushwork and see how King’s careful lighting gives the face a feeling of real presence.
