  威廉·埃蒂(1787-1849),約克·貝克和米勒的第十七個兒子,原本是赫爾學徒印刷工,但在完成七年學徒後,他移居倫敦成為一名藝術家。1807年1月,他作為一名緩刑犯被錄取進入皇家藝術院,那年七月成為著名肖像畫家托馬斯·勞倫斯的學生,在他手下學習了一年。 受提齊安諾·維伽略和魯本斯作品的影響,埃蒂以聖經、文學和神話背景中的裸體人物而聞名於世。 He became well-respected for his ability to capture flesh tones accurately in painting, and for his fascination with contrasts in skin tones. Many of his peers greatly admired his work, and in February 1828 he defeated John Constable by 18 votes to five to become a full Royal Academician, at the time the highest honour available to an artist.  Between 1820 and 1829 Etty exhibited 15 paintings, of which 14 depicted nude figures. While some nude paintings by foreign artists existed in private collections in England, the country had no tradition of nude painting and the display and distribution of nude material to the public had been suppressed since the 1787 Proclamation for the Discouragement of Vice.  Etty was the first British artist to specialise in the nude, and the prurient reaction of the lower classes to these paintings caused concern throughout the 19th century. Although his portraits of male nudes were generally well received, many critics condemned his recurrent depictions of female nudity as indecent.
《摔角手》是一幅在紙板上的油畫,由英國藝術家威廉·埃蒂於1840年左右創作,儲存於英國約克的約克美術館。它描繪了一個黑人和一個白人之間的摔跤比賽,兩人都揮汗如雨,他們的曲線和肌肉在強烈的燈光下被凸顯出來。雖然在1947年前很少有文獻記載這副油畫,但它很可能是在英國的皇家藝術院的模特教學班耗費三個夜晚繪畫出來的。
