Description
A typical 1970’s Jeremy King oil painting of The River Thames at Henley On Thames in the winter time. Dated 1979 this painting is indicative of the artists style of painting at the time. It is a wonderfully bleak, yet comforting picture of naked trees in the depths of the winter with the town of Henley away in the distance. It is in a hessian mounted frame, which shouts 1970’s. The frame is 78 x 48 cm. The painting itself measures 61 x 31 cm.
Jeremy King was born in Oundle, Northants in 1933. Was head of art and design at Haymills school in Burnham, Bucks before becoming a full time artist. He painted many scenes in and around the towns and villages up and down The River Thames before moving away to Cornwall with his wife and family in the mid seventies. Many of Jeremy King’s works have been reproduced as prints and he has the distinction of not only having original works on display at The Tate but some of his prints are in The Tate’s print collection too!
