About MeOne of 99 drawings on 92 leaves of paper from a sketchbook used by William Williams.

A view from a hill across a valley towards Shrewsbury, with the old bridge, a part of the quarry and a spire in the distance. A cow is seated on the right hand side of the sketch.

This drawing, along with 46 other leaves from the same sketchbook, is now untraced. Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museums is keen to reunite the drawings as one album. If you have any information relating to the current whereabouts of this work please contact Aberdeen Art Gallery.
