Evan Williams
Evan Williams is a British Romanticism artist. 6 works are cataloged here, principally at National Library of Wales.
Evan Williams painted oil portraits of 19th-century Welsh people, often naming both subject and date in the title. His brush recorded figures like Ieuan Gwyllt, a Welsh-language musician, and Helen Lloyd, merchant John Lloyd’s wife, alongside local preachers such as Parch. John Jones of Talysarn.
These quiet, dignified likenesses belong to the Welsh portrait tradition of the 1800s. To step closer, tap Ieuan Gwyllt’s 1878 portrait and see the direct gaze of a man who shaped Welsh song.
