George Augustus Williams was born on 4 May 1814 in Marylebone, London, into the Williams family of artists. His father was Edward Williams (1781–1855) a landscape painter and patriarch of the Barnes School of artists. He was one of six sons, who all became artists, Edward Charles Williams (1807–81), Henry John Boddington (1811–65), Arthur Gilbert (1819–95), Sidney Richard Percy (1821–86) and Alfred Walter Williams (1824–1905). Williams and all of his brothers were tutored by their father. He married Caroline Smith in 1835 and one of their sons Walter Williams (1834–1906) also became an artist. He initially lived with his family in Liverpool Street, Grays Inn Road, London before moving to Barnes, where he worked out of neighboring studios with his father, brothers and later his son and nephews. This working arrangement gave rise to Williams's family becoming known as the Barnes School. Like his father, he painted landscapes but specialized in river scenes of the Thames as well as seascapes and views of Kent and Wales. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1841 and also at Suffolk Street and the British Institution. Williams died in Barnes on 26 May 1901. His gravestone can be found at Barnes Old Cemetery.

19th century English landscape Flower Garden with Rose Arbor/Arch
Located in Woodbury, CT
Arthur Kemp Tebby (1866–1935) English Rose Arbor, circa 1890 Oil on wooden panel, signed lower right. Arthur Kemp Tebby was among the finest English painters of gardens and floral landscapes working during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. A gifted colourist and accomplished plein air painter, Tebby became celebrated for his depictions of English country gardens in full bloom, capturing the fleeting beauty of the seasons with remarkable delicacy and atmosphere. Influenced by both the French Impressionists and the rich tradition of British landscape painting, his works possess a freshness and luminosity that have made them enduringly sought after by collectors. This enchanting painting portrays a magnificent rose-covered arbor in the height of summer, inviting the viewer along a quiet garden path beneath cascades of climbing roses in shades of crimson, blush pink and ivory. Dappled sunlight filters gently through the foliage, illuminating the gravel walkway and creating a harmonious interplay of light and shadow. The abundance of flowering shrubs, carefully observed botanical detail and softly diffused background combine to evoke the tranquillity and romance of an English country garden at its seasonal peak. Executed with Tebby’s characteristic sensitivity, the composition demonstrates his mastery of colour and texture. Delicate brushwork captures the profusion of blooms without sacrificing spontaneity, while subtle tonal transitions lend remarkable depth and atmosphere. The artist’s restrained palette of soft greens, warm earth tones and vibrant floral highlights creates an elegant balance that is both decorative and naturalistic. Painted around 1890, this work belongs to a period when Tebby was producing some of his most accomplished garden scenes, subjects that remain among his most desirable. His paintings celebrate the Victorian passion for cultivated gardens while embracing the increasingly Impressionistic handling of light and colour that distinguished progressive British artists of the era. Beautifully presented in an elegant gilt frame, this charming painting is a quintessential example of late nineteenth-century English garden painting...
