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

A sketch with an arched format featuring a scene from Roman mythology. It is an allegorical composition on two registers; an upper heavenly register with cupids, gods and goddesses including Jove, Hera, Venus with mirror, Plenty with cornucopia, Mars with his armour amongst others and a lower earthly landscape with a city skyline - potentially that of Rome's.

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.
