DescriptionG.F. Watts was one of the leading portrait painters of his day and depicted most of the foremost figures of that time. He also presented much of his work to public collections and following his death paintings by him were presented to this Gallery by his wife in fulfilment of his wishes. A great admirer of Greek Art, Watts also loved the rich, warm colours of the Venetian School. (JO'D)On View
