American portrait Painter, 1785-1862 American painter. He was encouraged to paint by his grandfather, Nathaniel Bird (d 1796), an amateur painter, and took lessons with Samuel King, a portrait painter. In 1800-05 he was apprenticed in New York to Edward Savage, whose curious studio-museum and period of study abroad with Benjamin West impressed him deeply.   Related Paintings of king Charles Bird :. | Naw-Kaw | Die Vergeblichkeit des Kunstlers | Elizabeth Meade Creighton | Der Schrank des armen Kunstlers | Der Wanderkunstler |
