Artist
William Parry
William Parry is a Rococo painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Library of Wales.
William Parry painted portraits of well-dressed figures in the late 1700s. In the oil portrait Owen Wynne, a gentleman in a dark coat and white cravat stares directly at the viewer, his calm expression framed by a plain background. Parry’s work belongs to the same era as Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough, when sitters wanted dignified likenesses rather than flamboyant poses.
See how Parry’s brushwork softens the face but keeps the clothing and details sharp. Tap Owen Wynne to look closer.
