An Everett Raymond Kinstler portrait of Elvis Presley
Oil on canvas, signed ("(c) Everett Raymond Kinstler / 1977"), countersigned to verso: "'Elvis' / (c) Everett Raymond Kinstler / 1977." A portrait of Elvis Presley singing in one of his signature white jumpsuits. Working from photographs, Kinstler painted Elvis's portrait only a few days after the King's death. Publisher High McKay commissioned the painting, intending to use it for a very limited run of prints.
During the course of his long career, Kinstler has had 7 United States Presidents sit for him, as well as many other celebrities in a variety of disciplines. Seventy-five of his portraits are in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
Overall: 27 3/4 x 34 1/2 in
