William Shayer Senior

William Shayer Senior (1787-1879) was a painter of rural genre scenes. His son, William Shayer Junior, was also a painter in the same style as his father; sometimes it is hard to tell which one is the artist, so no guarantees that all of these are by WS Sr.

[this was one of a number of collaborations between Shayer and Williams; 
Williams painted the landscape and Shayer the people]

 A By-lane in the New Forest

 A Gypsy Encampment

 A Halt at the Inn

 A Village Festival (1843)

 At the Bell Inn, Cadnam, New Forest
