William C. Prime 1892

"William C. Prime" is an oil-on-canvas portrait of the prominent American author and editor William C. Prime, painted by American artist Daniel Huntington in 1892. The painting depicts Prime seated in a dark-toned interior, leaning forward with his right hand resting on a book. Huntington was a prolific portrait painter known for his realistic style and ability to capture his subjects' personalities. This piece, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to Huntington's mastery of portraying the intellectual and discerning nature of his sitters.
