In 1760, William Shaw exhibited at the Society of Artists. In 1767, he was living on Mortimer Street, where he is reputed to have built 'a large painting room with conveniences to receive the animals from which he painted.' His patrons included the Duke of Ancaster, Lord Orford, and Lord Montford. His paintings clearly reflect the influence of John Wootton and James Seymour.
