United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland

Penry Williams is an United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland Romanticism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Welsh artist Penry Williams painted watercolors of daily life in early 19th-century Rome. In Roman Beggars in the costume of Subiaco he shows locals in historic dress, and The Toilet: A Study at Rome focuses on a woman arranging her hair. His brush caught the textures of costume and the light on stone walls. See how he balances figures and detail without a grand story—just people in a place. Tap to look closer at The Toilet: A Study at Rome.
