Artist Biography
William Moore Senior (1791-1851) was a British portrait artist. He had fourteen children, five of whom would also become successful artists. He received no formal training, although he did obtain lessons from local artist Richard Mills in his birth town of Birmingham. He lived in London before eventually settling in York, where he established his reputation as a portrait painter of merit. His oeuvre boasts celebrities such as actress and writer Fanny Kemble and military men such as Commander John Perkins. He also painted many portraits of upper and middle-class sitters and families. He worked in oil, watercolour, and pastels, always with a delicate style that provides his work with a sense of elegance and refinement.
