Portrait of Frank Holl

English, 1845–1888

Frank Holl was an English Realism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Francis Montague Holl was a British painter, specialising in somewhat sentimental paintings with a moment from a narrative situation, often drawing on the trends of social realism and the problem picture in Victorian painting. He was also, especially in his later years when the demand for social realism slackened, a portrait painter, mostly of official-type portraits of distinguished and therefore elderly men, including members of the royal family.
