Ethnographic art dealer and antique pyrography collector Douglas Schneible in Shelburne, Vermont acquired the exquisite portrait of Rembrandt (above) by Dr. Norman W. Kingsley; however, until recently little was known of its provenance.

A biographical sketch of the professional life of a remarkable dentist may be the answer to the mystery of the provenance of this beautifully rendered pyrographic panel. 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.

Douglas Schneible has an extensive website The Arts & Crafts Gallery featuring his fine collection of antique pyrographic works and history along with his ethnographic art and artifacts.
