Specialist note

Known as the “artist to presidents and kings,” Felix Weiss was prolific sculptor of portraits and public monuments who trained in Austria and France before gaining recognition following an exhibition in London in 1933. Perhaps his most well-known work is his portrait bust of King George V, circa 1935, now in the National Portrait Gallery (NPG 2796).
