EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Walter William Ouless, a renowned portrait painter of the 19th century. Taken in 1880 by Lock & Whitfield, this image showcases Ouless' distinguished appearance and artistic aura. With his piercing gaze and refined demeanor, he exudes confidence and expertise in his craft. Ouless began his artistic journey at the Royal Academy, exhibiting for the first time in 1869. His talent was recognized when he was elected as an Associate of the Academy in 1877, followed by becoming a Royal Academician in 1881. It was under the guidance of Sir John Everett Millais that Ouless shifted his focus to portraiture. Beyond his artistic achievements, Ouless played an active role outside the studio walls. He served as a governor of Dulwich College and contributed to re-hanging the prestigious Dulwich Picture Gallery. Later on, he became an honorary secretary and vice-president of the Artists General Benevolent Institution. This photograph not only immortalizes Walter William Ouless but also offers a glimpse into Victorian-era artistry and professionalism. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical portrayal while emphasizing Ouless' dedication to capturing life through portraiture. As we admire this print today, we are reminded of Ouless' significant contributions to both art and society during his time as one of Britain's esteemed portrait painters.
