Frederick William Elwell RA (29 June 1870 in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire – 3 January 1958 in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire); English painter in oils of portraits, interiors and figurative subjects. He exhibited at the Paris Salon and the Royal Academy, where he became a member in 1938, and painted a portrait of King George V in 1932. ....Much of his work, practised in a vigorous and realistic style, expressed his interest in recording Yorkshire life. The Times, in its review of the Royal Academy exhibition of 1936, favourably described his painting, The Lying-in-State, Westminster Hall (1936), as successfully conveying the emotions felt by those who had been present at the lying-in-state of the late King George V. Some 22 years later, the same newspaper described his work as 'persuasive' rather than 'arresting', and him as 'pre-eminently a painter of domesticity'.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_William_Elwell) https://mydailyartdisplay.wordpress.com/2015/04/26/frederick-william-elwell-part-1-the-early-days/ https://mydailyartdisplay.wordpress.com/2015/05/02/fred-elwell-part-2-portraiture/ https://mydailyartdisplay.wordpress.com/2015/05/10/fred-elwell-part-3-landscapes-and-mrs-elwell/ https://mydailyartdisplay.wordpress.com/2015/05/19/frederick-elwell-part-4-more-of-his-genre-works/ undefined
