About the Item
Signed lower left 'H. R. Williams' for Homer Ross Williams (American, 1901-1954), and painted circa 1925.
Displayed in a substantial, incised and water-gilded frame of the period. Framed Dimensions: 25 x 20 x 2 inches.
A psychologically penetrating, early twentieth century, figural oil painting of a bearded young man with bright eyes and a candid gaze, shown dressed in biblical clothing with his unruly hair held back by a braided hemp headband.
Born in Texas, Williams moved to California as a child. Having studied at the Chouinard Art Institute in 1926, Williams continued to paint and exhibit in Los Angeles through the 1920's and into the 1940's Williams is listed in both "Artists in California, 1786-1940" by Edan Hughes and 'Southern California Artists' by Nancy Moure.
