Portrait of Robert Howell Vaughan, aged c.60

PARRY, William (Artist)

Robert Howell Vaughan worked for a while as a surgeon in Chester. In 1783 he succeeded his spendthrift brother at Hengwrt in Merioneth, and also inherited Nannau. He began to rebuild the house in 1788 and was created a baronet in 1791. He is shown here in Van Dyck' fancy dress, and wears the badge of the Anglesey Druidical Society, a gentlemen's drinking and charitable society, which met in Beaumaris.

Creation/Production

PARRY, William
1742-1791 William Parry trained in London under the fashionable British portrait painter Joshua Reynolds. He maintained a healthy career in Wales, thanks to the support of the Williams-Wynn family of Wynnstay. He was a friend of Thomas Jones, and the son of celebrated harpist, John Parry. Hyfforddwyd William Parry yn Llundain gan y peintiwr portreadau Prydeinig ffasiynol Joshua Reynolds. Fe lwyddodd i ddilyn gyrfa lewyrchus yng Nghymru, diolch i gefnogaeth y teulu Williams-Wynn o Wynnstay. Roedd yn gyfaill i Thomas Jones, ac yn fab i’r telynor John Parry.
