EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Portrait of George Gray" painted by Henry Perlee Parker in the early 19th century. The portrait, measuring 15.7x12.6 cm, is displayed at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. George Gray, a renowned artist from Newcastle, was known for his exceptional talent in fruit paintings and portraiture. In addition to his artistic pursuits, Gray also worked as a drawing teacher and operated a shop specializing in portraits, house painting, and sign making. However, it was his passion for scientific research on plants and rocks that truly captivated him. Despite being friendly with other painters in Newcastle's art scene at the time - including Henry Perlee Parker - Gray preferred to dedicate his time to exploring the wonders of nature. Parker himself gained rapid success as a portrait painter upon arriving in Newcastle in 1815. This particular artwork beautifully captures George Gray's essence with its half-length depiction against a dark background while wearing an elegant black jacket. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' fine art finder collection, this remarkable piece can be appreciated through this stunning print reproduction.
