Artist

Herbert Herkomer

Herbert Herkomer is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Herkomer painted detailed scenes in watercolour, often dressing sitters in elaborate costumes. In 1879 he showed a Young Person in Arab dress, a watercolour that leans on precise line and layered glazes rather than loose brushwork. The work sits quietly in his oeuvre, a single sheet that rewards close looking. Tap to zoom into the folds of the turban and the careful play of light on fabric.
