Valeria
Valeria c1916 by British Painter William Clarke Wontner (1857 – 1930), dealbhadair dhealbhan den Academic, Clasaigeachd agus stoidhlichean romansach.
This is a beautiful portrait of a young lady wearing oriental style clothing of rich hues of cobalt blue, red and orange; with floral patterns of blue, dearg, uaine, yellow and brown.
She is standing in front of a semi white aged looking marble wall with hues of yellow and blue that contrast nicely with the skin tone of Valeria’s face as well as the colors of her clothing.
Another painter with a similar style was Abaid Abraham Altson, who was also very good ad capturing the enduring beauty in his portraits of a lady.

Rugadh Wontner ann an Stockwell, Surrey, mac an ailtire, dealbhaiche agus neach-tairgse Uilleam Hoff Wontner (1814 – 1881) agus Catriona Nic a' Ghobhainn.
Fhuair Wontner an fhoghlam ealain as tràithe aige bho athair; agus fo stiùir 'athar, ag obair còmhla ri Iain Uilleam Godward (1861 – 1922), neach-aithris ainmeil air rud ris an canar an stoidhle Greco-Ròmanach.
Bha Godward eòlach air teaghlach Wontner agus gun a bhith ach còig bliadhna nas sine na Wontner, dh'fhàs e dlùth chàirdean ris.
Mun cuairt 1885, Thòisich Wontner a’ teagasg aig Sgoil Ealain Coille an Naoimh Eòin, an dèidh dha gluasad gu Ceàrnag Gàrraidh Hamilton; agus bha e na pheantair beag a bha na phàirt den ghluasad neo-chlasaigeach ann an Sasainn, air a stiùireadh le Alma-Tadema.
B’ fheàrr le stoidhle Wontner boireannaich seòlta le cainnt air am peantadh an aghaidh cùl-raon màrmor clasaigeach no taobh an ear agus uaireannan le cùl-raon gàrraidh; sa mhòr-chuid ann an suidheachadh seasamh.
