George Augustus Williams was born in 1814 in the St. Marylebone district of London. He was a prolific and versatile artist, painting Thames views, moonlight scenes, coastal subjects and landscapes in Kent, Wales and elsewhere. By 1841 he and his wife Caroline had a family of four sons and a daughter. Later they moved to Barnes, (almost within sight if the Thames, which Williams so often used as the subject of his paintings) where the artist lived for over fifty years.
George handled colour with great freedom, producing a variety of surface and delicate fluidity of tone, a golden harmony that owes much to J.M Turner. Williams exhibited mainly at Suffolk Street as well as at the Royal Academy between 1841 and 1885, British Institution and elsewhere.
