About this lot

Description

Hugh William Williams, FRSE (Scottish, 1773-1829) 'Temple of Serapis at Pozzuoli' inscribed with title and dated "July 1818" lower centre pen and ink over pencil 29 x 43cm (11 x 17in)
Other Notes: The present drawing and the one in the following lot belong to an important group of drawings which record Williams' return journey from Greece to Scotland in 1818 (as corroborated in his journal from his Grand Tour). The majority of these views depict Italy and thus attest to Williams' travels through Naples and Rome, before heading home via Switzerland, Germany and France.
