This is a rather large piece measuring 41 inches X 33 inches. The frame appears original and please note some age appropriate chippage to the detail of the heavy old oak frame. The old glass has some tong marks - authenticating it as old.

We found this great etching at an auction just outside the Burg and the following note was attached, "Pencil Signed Print "Overlooking the Bay" By Walter Ernest Webster (British 1878-1959) Copyright By W. Wellstodd & Co."

While we would very much like that to be the case - Walter Ernest Webster would have been only 9 years old in 1878 and we find it impossible that he could have been talented enough to do this detailed work at that young age! If this was done by Walter Ernest Webster - it would be quite valuable as his work is featured by important auction houses such as Southebys.

The scene depicts a fellow standing beneath a tree with his dog by his side and they are looking out to the bay. There is some age on the borders of the paper as you can see in the photos however the etching itself is in wonderful condition and mesmerizing to look at.
