Charles Willis
Large portrait painting of Edward VII after Fildes

20th Century

About the Item

This exceptional oil painting has been attributed to Charles Willis, who was an accomplished early 20th Century British artist. Willis based this work on a famous State portrait of King Edward VII, completed in 1902 by Sir Samuel Luke Fildes. In the year it was finished, Fildes’s painting was displayed in a Royal Academy exhibition, where it was received with great acclaim. Today, the work is held in the Royal Collection Trust in London. The canvas is indistinctly signed ‘Willi…’ in the lower right corner. The portrait depicts Edward VII, who was king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland between 1901-1910. In the painting, Edward VII stands on a platform and gazes authoritatively out at the viewer. He places his left hand on his hip and holds the Sceptre in his right. The Orb and State Crown are placed on a table on the left. Edward VII wears a Field-Marshal’s uniform, with the sash and badge of the Royal Victorian Order and the Garter Star. His shoulders are draped with the royal mantle. The canvas is displayed in a finely carved giltwood frame. Canvas- Height 234cm, width 160cm, depth 3cm Frame- Height 260cm, width 187cm, depth 13cm

  • Group portrait painting after the hunt, oil on canvas
    Located in London, GB
    This charming painting depicts a group of gentlemen gathered around a kitchen table and admiring an English Setter. The snowy rooftops, just visible from the kitchen window, combined with the lit fire and holly decorating the picture frames in the room, implies that this is a Christmas scene. It also appears that the gentlemen have just returned from a fox hunt, and are now warming themselves, drinking port and smoking long pipes by the fire. Five men — three gathered behind the table and two standing in front — are identically dressed in long black riding boots...
