It is rare these days to find a silhouette by William King! Here is
a nice one....an American hollow cut silhouette by one of this nation's
early recorded artists. Impressed with the signature "KING". King was a
wonderful silhouettist, but he was such a rascal that you should own a
King just so you can tell the story! We know he worked in Salem and
Boston Mass. and Hanover, NH. After reading about his escapades, I think
he likely moved to stay away from the law and the family he deserted
rather than working as an itinerant. You can read a bit more about King
on the
Silhouettist Biographies page, and you'll get a nice biography
along with the silhouette. This lovely lady is circa 1804-1806 and
resides in a period softwood frame measuring 3 3/4" x 6 5/8".
(#3811) $750 Please see the Silhouettist Biographies page for more information about King. |
