Herbert Luther Smith — Paintings, Biography & Famous Works

Herbert Luther Smith is an American Folk Art artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Herbert Luther Smith painted a single known watercolour in 1849: Portrait of an unknown man. There’s almost no record of who he was or what else he made, so all we have is this one sheet of paper and the year it was signed. The face is softly shaded, the coat collar crisp—small details left behind in a quiet corner of the 1840s. Tap the portrait to see the brush strokes up close.
