Benjamin Williams

Benjamin Williams painted a man in a cap so often he almost became the man in the cap. He kept a studio window open year-round in London, so his watercolors smell faintly of damp wool and ink. You’ll find his work tucked under “British watercolorists” if you look, but his real trick was making everyday light feel like a secret you’d just discovered. Try *Man in a Cap* if you want to see how a few wet brushstrokes can turn a stranger into someone you almost recognize.
