William Sidney Cooper was a painter of landscapes in both oil and watercolour, usually with the inclusion of sheep and cattle. Although he does not appear to be related to Thomas Sidney Cooper, certain books list him as being his second son. It can also be said that his subject matter is very similar to that of Thomas Sidney Cooper. He exhibited regularly the Royal Academy and Suffolk Street between 1871 and 1908 with titles including: 'Springtime, Isle of Wight', 1881, 'The Avon at Ringwood', 1889, 'Twilight on the Thames', 1884. An example of his work can be found at the Reading Museum.
