Published in 1847, Fraser and Co, Edinburgh.
Penry Williams (British, 1800-1885) was a Welsh artist who spent most of his life in Rome. Son of a house painter, he was sent to London from Merthyr Tydfil by Sir John Guest, where he studied in the schools of the Royal Academy. From 1822, he exhibited portraits and views at the Royal Academy, British Institution, and Society of British Artists until 1827, when he settled in Rome. In April 1828 Williams was elected an associate of the Society of Painters in Watercolors and exhibited until 1833, when he resigned. His studio in Rome was a known attraction for English visitors, for half a century. Most of his time in Rome Williams had a relationship with the Welsh artist John Gibson (1790 – 1866).
