American art collector Dr. Sheldon Peck in Massachusetts acquired in 2010 the exquisite portrait of Rembrandt (above) by Dr. Norman W. Kingsley (1829–1913).

Visit the 1909 Norman W. Kingsley Salon here in the E-Museum for the story of this artist's fascinating life and myriad accomplishments. The pyrographic part begins on page 555. Note that the work here, after the painting of Rembrandt's known as "Self-Portrait as a Young Man," is shown in that antique article in the lower left corner of page 557.

As more works by Kingsley are appearing, we are learning still more about this talented personage. Besides this work and the 1901 Norman W. Kingsley portrait, also owned by Sheldon Peck, there are now four additional works by Kingsley on exhibit here in the E-Museum.



If you have either any questions or any information regarding the artist or his turn-of-the-century pyrographic portraits, please e-mail Sheldon Peck and the E-Museum Curator.
