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

The brushwork stays tight, with careful attention to the play of light on waves and sail. Peek at the same rocky coastline in Williams’s later “View from Puffin Island” to see how the scene changes with tide and season.
