Dorothy Sims Williams studied at Stockport Art School (1926-8) and the RA Schools (1928-33) under Walter Russell and F.E.Jackson.  She cited Holbein and Cezanne amongst her influences.  She exhibited well over 50 works at The Society of Women Artists as well as the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and Royal West of England Academy.

The Hebrew Bible credits Solomon as the builder of the First Temple in Jerusalem and portrays him as great in wisdom, wealth, and power, but ultimately as a king whose sin, including idolatry and turning away from God, leads to the kingdom being torn in two during the reign of his son Rehoboam.Solomon is the subject of many other later references and legends.
