George Stedman Watts b. 1804

  • Artist (Sculptor),
  • Artist (Painter)
Watts set up business as a portrait painter in 1842. This did not last long and none of his portraits have been located. He worked as a wood-engraver and it is possible that he engraved the first seal for the Western Australian government.
