Herbert William Weeks was a well-known English genre and animal painter of the Victorian Neoclassical period who specialised in portraying animals in humorous, human-like situations.

It seems that he preferred to use his middle name and his works are mostly signed "William Weekes" or just WW.

Born: 8 May 1841, Pimlico, London. Died: 21 November 1914, Primrose Hill, London.

His work was exhibited in many English establishments including The London National Gallery and Grosvenor Gallery
