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

Fauns and nymphs dancing to music from pipes and tambourines. The sketch is similar to sketch number 61 in the sketch book (ABDAG003473) however here the cord has become a garland carried by the cupids.

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.
