Frederick Williamson (c.1835–1900) was a British watercolour painter active during the second half of the nineteenth century. Surviving records indicate that he worked from about 1856 and painted landscapes and rural subjects, although detailed information about his personal life is limited.
His Cattle Grazing near Shanklin, Isle of Wight depicts cattle in the countryside around Shanklin on the Isle of Wight. The area was popular with Victorian visitors and artists, who were drawn to its wooded valleys, coastline and pastoral scenery. Williamson's subject reflects the nineteenth-century taste for picturesque views combining animals with a recognisable British landscape.
Watercolour was a widely practised medium among professional and amateur landscape artists of this period because it could be used for sketches outdoors and more finished studio pictures. Works attributed to Williamson have appeared in public catalogues and art sales. His precise birth date is uncertain, and the approximate dates c.1835–1900 should be treated as a guide rather than a fully documented lifespan.

Glasgow and the Mackintosh Style
We recently took ourselves off to Scotland, and on our travels, we popped into the Mackintosh Tea Rooms in Glasgow for a bit of a nose around and a spot of lunch.
