Watkin E. Wynne (1755-1796)

Artist: 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.)

Welsh portrait painter William Parry worked in London and Italy, and also worked for a group of loyal patrons here in Wales. He spent part of the summer of 1770 working for Owen Wynne of Llwyn, a landowner with estates in Denbighshire and Meirionydd. This small portrait in oils is of Wynne’s fifteen-year old son and heir, Watkin.
