About the Item

William Steeple Davis (1884-1961) Christ Church College, Oxford Pastel drawing 31 x 23 cm William Steeple Davis (1884–1961) was an American artist known for his diverse artistic talents, including pastel drawings. While he primarily focused on etchings, hand-coloured prints, and block prints, he also created notable works using pastels.
