Thanks for the detailed reply.
So, in my case we can't be sure who this achievement belonged to unless we have some additional information?
If the notation on the back is correct and the painting was done circa 1830, is it possible it belonged to Sir William Owen, the 8th baronet?

Thanks for the replies.
I'm very illiterate when it comes to heraldry.
So, coat of arms does not belong to a family but to a person? And they usually go by first name but not surname?
Let's say you have John Smith Of Wonderland. If you have to write a name on the coat of arms it would be John but not Smith?
And are the coat of arms passed to the next generations? But what about if the son of Owen is let's say George? It still will be Owen but not George's coat of arms?
Sorry if my questions sound a bit off.
By the way, I asked on another forum and the folks there found a similar image from The Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage of the British Empire by John Burke ESQ from the sixth edition 1839.
Is that a good clue?

Hi,
I have this framed watercolor with the Owen coat of arms. The note on the back reads circa 1830. I wonder if this piece belonged to a certain family or it is more like a general painting?
Any thoughts and suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks in advance!
