Ernest H. D. Lloyd

British painter Ernest H. D. Lloyd made small, precise portraits in oils around the turn of the century. His brush caught quiet moments, like the one in “Cyril Jones,” a calm figure set against a plain background. He worked in the late 1890s and early 1900s, when London studios were filled with natural light and wooden easels. Tap into his world through “Cyril Jones” or step back to see how portraiture framed everyday people.
