William Meredith

William Meredith is a British Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Library of Wales.

William Meredith painted scenes of everyday life in the 1840s, often focusing on working people and their surroundings. In Cocklewomen, he shows women gathered by the shore with baskets of shellfish, their hands busy at low tide. The painting captures a quiet moment in a hard day’s work, with the sea and sky filling most of the frame. Tap Cocklewomen to look closer at the way Meredith frames labor and light along the coast.
