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

Pencil drawing with brown wash in an oval featuring a decayed cottage to the righthand side of the drawing with a footbridge to the right and behind the cottage leading to a path or a lane. A figure on a pack animal appears just at the point where the path disappears over the horizon on the lefthandside of the drawing.

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.
