W B von Goldstein was a painter of diverse subject matter showing subjects that covered landscapes, river and coastal scenes, interiors and floral still life.

He lived at 2 Stowe House, North End, Hampstead and can be described as an artist influenced by the post-impressionist school which was sweeping away the Victorian tradition at that time. This was typified by a lighter, airier colouration and a more free style of paint application as seen in artists such as Sir George Clausen and Stanhope Alexander Forbes.
