Artist
Foeiqua
Qing dynasty
Foeiqua is a Qing dynasty artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Peabody Essex Museum.
Foeiqua turns up in old ledgers as the painter who charged extra to keep the subject’s hat on, arguing it held half the personality. Their Portrait of Henry Carwick (1820) proves it: the man’s top hat sits slightly crooked, shadows pooling like ink inside its brim, while his face stays half in daylight, everyone in the club said it looked like Carwick had just walked in from a rainstorm that never stopped. If you love faces that double as weather reports, tap into this one first.
