Artist
Sidney Tushingham
Sidney Tushingham is an Orientalism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Sidney Tushingham painted watercolours of people in the Middle East during the mid-1900s. One of his works here is the Portrait of Sheikh Abdallah al Salem, Ruler of Kuwait, done between 1940 and 1950 in soft, layered washes. His style sits between reportage and portraiture, clear lines for faces, looser colour for surroundings. Tap the portrait to see how the ruler’s robe catches lamplight against a plain wall.
