About the Item
Picturesque scene of two children by a thatched cottage, pasture with sheep, pond and hills is signed W. Williams, attributed to a prominent 19th century artist in a family of British artists. Walter Williams is one of the best known of the family. This is a fine oil on canvas original painting.
Walter Heath Williams (1834-1906) was born into a family of landscape artists. He flourished during the Victorian period, exhibiting in the Royal Academy and the British Institute.
This simple cottage scene, titled 'Children At Play' presents an idyllic rural scene in summer, with soft light on the pond, green rolling pastures with a flock of sheep and figures of a boy and girl on the dirt path leading to the charming cottage.
This painting is within his genre of painting, recognizable by the brushstrokes in the leaves on the trees and his figures in a larger landscape.
The painting is 21.5" high in the simple frame, and 29.5" wide. Saltire Gallerie has undertaken a light cleaning. The pale blues and white clouds in the sky have visible but stable craquelure with no paint flecks, characteristic for its age. No other fault is noted.
Presented in stable and good overall condition, this vintage Victorian painting is ready to hang.

Walter Williams
Walter Williams was one of the four sons of Edward Williams. On 2 June 1857, Walter Williams married Jane Pearcy at St George’s, Hanover Square, not then a very salubrious district. His wife was the daughter of William Pearcy, a glass dealer, who was related to Clara Boddington. Jane and Walter lived in apparently comfortable circumstances at 8 Londsdale Terrace, Barnes. Walter Williams was a landscape painter working mainly in Wales but also in England. He was a member of the Williams family of painters and was the son of George Augustus Williams. He exhibited mainly at Suffolk Street, also at the Royal Academy between 1854 and 1880 as well as at the British Institution. Williams exhibited thirty-two paintings at the Royal Hibernian Academy and also at the Royal Society of British Artists, Manchester City Art Gallery and the Royal Society of Artists, Birmingham.

View AllAnnouncement in Village Square mid 19th century
Located in Hillsborough, NC
Fine 19th century oil painting of a bustling Austrian/Germanic village with horse, rider and various figures outside an Inn, attributed to Arthur Georg Ramberg (1819-1879), well known for figurative genre paintings. The rider is carrying a bugle, apparently announcing news to the people; men are sitting by the table drinking, one with a raised stein. Women walking by stop to listen, a man carrying a sack has stopped to watch the rider, people are in the Inn doorway, and one is looking out the window. Children pause their playing. The scene is under a large tree beside the Inn; a whole community waiting for news.
There is a great deal of detail in the scene, tree and Inn house...
