Kid was a prominent Thai Painter. He studied at Silpakorn University, Bangkok for 4 years from 1936 and then studied 1 year at Poh Chang College of Arts and Crafts. At one time he was president of Thai Fine Arts Association and an art instructor at Poh Chang College of Arts and Crafts in Bangkok, Thailand. Kosolawat specialized primarily in Thai landscapes and pastoral life. His works appear in several important local and international collections, and are in high demand on the secondary market. This large, interesting, culturally significant piece was completed in 1965, by one of the leading Thai artists of his generation, at the height of his popularity.
