Eighteen months after playing his last international rugby union match for Wales, Shane Williams plays for the British and Irish Lions team against the ACT Brumbies during their tour of Australia. To celebrate this, the National Library of Wales is proud to offer a limited edition framed print of an oil painting by the renowned artist, David Griffiths. Both Shane Williams and David Griffiths have signed the print. To purchase your own unique piece of rugby history, visit the Library Shop or online.
Paul Joyner, Head of Archive and Art Acquisitions at the Library, said: “This portrait of Shane by David Griffiths has a real sense of presence. We feel as though Shane has just walked in and will be ready in a moment to play another game for Wales. David has managed to capture Shane’s unique sense of balance and his ability to capture our imagination with his amazing gift for retaining the ball and escaping the opposition to score many memorable tries.”
For a limited time, you are able to view the original artwork on public display in the Library’s main hall area
