Williamson is a biography written in the early 20th century that examines the life and career of the English portrait painter George Romney. The book explores his artistic journey, significant influences, and contributions to the art world, particularly against the backdrop of his time in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It likely serves to shed light on the challenges and achievements of an artist who was pivotal in his field yet often overshadowed by contemporaries such as Reynolds and Gainsborough. The text details Romney’s humble beginnings in Cumberland, tracing his development as an artist and his rise to prominence in London, where he established a successful practice painting portraits of the upper classes. It discusses his relationships, especially his connection with Lady Hamilton, who became a significant muse and subject in many of his works.

The narrative serves both as a biography and an exploration of Romney's artistic legacy, examining how he balanced personal sacrifice and career ambition in a competitive field.
