Alfred Walter Williams 1824-1905 Landscape Oil
We are delighted to offer for sale this intricately detailed oil on canvas by the artist ALFRED WALTER WILLIAMS, who has signed the painting A. W. Williams in the lower left hand corner and dated it 1888. The painting depicts a landscape view, possibly in Wales, with a man and a woman seated by the wayside at the junction of a track and a path coming down the hill. There are a couple of sheep grazing on the hillside and a herd of cattle heading down the track. Possibly the man is the herdsman and the woman the shepherdess.
ALFRED WALTER WILLIAMS (1824-1905) was the youngest son of Edward 'Old' Williams, the father of the Williams family of painters and his siblings include Arthur Gilbert (who changed his name from Williams to his second Christian name to avoid confusion) and Sidney Richard Percy, who also changed his name for the same reason. Alfred's wife Florence Elizabeth Thomas was also an exhibited painter. He lived in London and Surrey. Bibliography J. Reynolds 'The Williams Family of Painters'. 1975. For an excellent biography and a photograph of the artist, please look on wikipedia.
ALFRED WILLIAMS exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1843-1891 and works exhibited included scenes of the Thames, Wales, Scotland and Italy. He was a landscape painter in oils and occasionally watercolour and painted in a similar style to his brother Sidney Percy. According to Graves Dictionary, he exhibited 76 works at the Royal Academy, 42 at the British Institution, 79 at Suffolk Street, 4 at the New Watercolour Society and 108 at various other London exhibitions. One of his paintings is in the Victoria & Albert Museum.
The many auction listings for ALFRED WILLIAMS, may be found at artnet (97 listings), findartinfo (60) and artprice (137) etc. His works are also often found in Hislop's Guide to the UK Art Market. His oils reach the thousands and a similar sized oil to this one achieved £1,050 at James Adam in Ireland in 2012.
More biographical information may be found in The Dictionary of Victorian Painters by Christopher Wood, The Dictionary of British Artists, and British Watercolour Artists by Mallalieu.
The painting is newly framed in a 3 1/8" gilt frame. It is ready to hang.
