He is a listed realist artist from the Victorian Era. His work is represented in the National Gallery in London. He started as a choir boy and became apprentice to a glass painter. He then studied with William Bromley, RBA, and the important realist teacher Leon Bonnat and Fernand Cormon. In 1879 he was elected to the Royal Society of British Artist (RBA). His subjects are rural scenes often with a farm girl working or resting as a central feature and his colors are bright and attractive. He often used his own daughter as a model.   Born in London, he worked for three years as a glass painter before studying with the Victorian artist William Bromley. His art really flourished, however, when he moved to Paris to study under Leon Bonnat and Fernand Cormon. In 1885 he wrote and illustrated an article for the Magazine of Art entitled "A Round in France," a pictorial and written tour of the Brittany countryside. This immersion in French art, particularly the influence of the Realist and Impressionist schools, informed King’s mature style like nothing else. Therefore while his rustic genre scenes are typically Victorian, his technique – working in plein air and infusing his scenes with bold and often surprising colours – shows the influence of French art. As an artist, King had a long and successful career. Between the years 1874 and 1924 he exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists (Suffolk Street), the New Watercolour Society, the Grosvenor Gallery and elsewhere. In 1879 he became a member of the Royal Society of British Artists; and in 1886 he was elected to the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours – later becoming the group’s Vice President. A member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Royal Society of British Artists, he studied under William Bromley, Bonnat, and Cormon in Paris.liKing exhibited 115 times at the Suffolk Street Gallery and 36 times at the Royal Academy. He had at least another 200 exhibitions in England, Munich, and Berlin, as well as the 1889 Paris International Exhibition (for which he won a Bronze Medal). In 1898 his picture of ‘Milking Time’ was purchased by the Tate Gallery, one of London's finest galleries.King’s work is typical of popular late Victorian paintings that feature rustic themes as well as more fanciful garden scenes with beautiful ladies. In this lovely painting, his robust plein air technique and bold color palette reflect his Paris training.c This painting is absolutely beautifully executed by a master artist.
