Self Portrait

About the Item

Sir John Kiffin Williams O.B.E. R.A. 1918-2006, was a Welsh landscape painter. Kiffin Williams as he was known lived on Anglesey and was widely regarded as one of the greatest Welsh painters of the 20th Century. His work is widely collected and in constant demand not just in Wales but throughout the UK, his technique for his much loved landscapes was with a palette knife which is a difficult talent to master but they have a unique air of distinction and are somewhat mystical and gentle to the eye. This painting is a copy of his own self portrait which is held in the National Library of Wales which was painted in 1969, the date of the copy here is somewhat obscured by way of the artist being unknown. However this painting is clearly the hand of an accomplished artist who has captured the essence of Williams' work and is a rare portrait of the great painter. It is currently housed in a temporary frame and a new owner may prefer their own choice, however it is sufficient to display the painting here without the propensity to enhance.

Vintage Mid-Century Modern Mini Swedish Figurative Portrait Painting - Whispers
Located in Bristol, GB
WHISPERS Mixed Media on Board Size: 30 x 37 cm (including frame) A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative composition in mixed media (oil, watercolour gouache), painted onto board. Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves...
