Historical Background

Shirley Williams is a British artist known for her detailed wildlife and landscape paintings, often focusing on animals found in the British countryside. Her work has been exhibited at various galleries in the UK. This particular piece appears to be from the studio in Northumberland, as indicated by the label on the back. The phone number on the label, which starts with "043," suggests a pre2000s phone code format for the area, helping to place the work's creation sometime in the late 20th century.
