Leslie Matthew Ward was born on 21 November 1851 in London, where he also died on 15 May 1922. He is regarded as a renowned portrait painter and caricaturist who painted portraits and caricatures in a watercolour style typical of him, which he published mainly under the pseudonyms "Spy" and "Drawl" in the British weekly magazine "Vanaty Fair". There his so-called "Spy Portraits" were transformed into chromolithographs, which were reproduced on a better paper and sold separately as prints.
Ward's influence on the genre was extraordinary. He had begun with portraits whose caricatural elements were pronounced: He distorted the physical proportions of his models by making the head and torso much larger. Examples are the portrait of Edward Bickersteth, Dean of Lichfield (1884) and Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith (1904). Later his style developed towards so-called "characteristic portraits", which were less caricatures than actual portraits with realistic proportions - such as the portraits of Admiral Sir Compton Edward Domvile (1906) or the Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry Sir William Ramsay (1908).
Leslie Ward's parents Henrietta and Edward Ward were well-known history painters with studios in Borough of Slough and Kensington London. Ward painted caricatures of his teachers and classmates while still at Eton College. Artistic studies followed at the Royal Academy Schools - after that the publications in the "Vanaty Fair" began.
His portraits of ladies and gentlemen of society have always been regarded as sympathetic; he usually made them from memory after observing his "victims" on the racetrack, in church, in the courts, in the university lecture hall or in the lobby of the Houses of Parliament.
Ward published 1325 portraits in "Vanety Fair" - in total his life's work comprised 2 387 published caricatures. In 1918 he was knighted. Sir Leslie Matthew Ward was married and father of a daughter.
