1770
135.0 x 91.0 cm
Hugh William Williams（1773 – 1829）
Discover Hugh William Williams: a Scottish landscape painter known as "Grecian Williams." Explore his evocative watercolors of Greece & Italy, capturing ruins & history.
William Williams was born in England, the son of a mariner. He lived through shipwreck and adventure in the Caribbean before arriving in Philadelphia at the age of twenty, by which time he was already earning a livelihood as a painter. He returned to England in 1776, and died there fifteen years later in an almshouse. Tradition holds that the solemn young man represented in this portrait is a member of the Crossfield family. He holds the equipment for the game of battledore and shuttlecock, a decorous eighteenth-century version of badminton. In this picture, one of Williams"s best, the rendering of the rocks, the verdure, and the distant view reminds us that the artist was also a painter of theatrical scenery.
