Artist
William Ross
William Ross is a British Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A quiet hand in British watercolours between 1820 and 1860, William Ross specialized in portraits where lace collars and book spines catch the light. He painted Portrait of Mrs Milnes in soft washes that let each curl and cameo read clearly. Behind his work stood the taste of Regency drawing rooms, where a single portrait could travel no further than the nearest mahogany sideboard. Next, look at how the same delicate brushwork handles the folds in Portrait of Mrs Milnes.
