Description

Image plate size:15cm x 35cm, signed in pencil. Framed and glazed, overall size including frame and mount: 40cm x 58cm

William Walcott was born near Odessa of Scottish/Russian parentage and studied Arts and Architecture at The Imperial Academy of The Arts in St. Petersburg.

He was a trained architect, however on moving to London in the early years of the 20th century his focus became principally art and illustration, and it was here too where he developed his distinctive impressionistic style.

He enjoyed numerous commissions from the leading architects of the day including Sir Edwin Lutyens, Sir Herbert Baker and Sir Aston Webb.

An example of this etching is held in the permanent collection of The National Gallery of Art, Washington DC.

Condition: plate-excellent, original mount (with date stamp) -with some light and isolated foxing/dust specks.

I would be happy to wrap and post this framed and glazed picture to UK destinations at cost price, probably around £15 including insurance.

Please let me know if you have any questions

FAQs

Drypoint is a printmaking technique in which an image is scratched directly onto a metal plate using a hard, pointed needle, creating a raised ridge called a burr that holds ink during printing.

Traditional intaglio printing utilises a metal plate, usually copper or zinc, specialised printing inks, damp cotton paper, and a heavy press to transfer the image.

Authentic period etchings typically feature a distinct plate mark impression in the paper, slight ink burrs characteristic of drypoint lines, and often bear pencil signatures or edition numbers from the artist.

An antique etching looks best framed in a simple, neutral mount with a slim timber or gilded frame, allowing the intricate linework to stand out against plain walls.

Vintage paper works must be protected from direct sunlight, framed using acid-free materials, and kept in rooms with stable humidity levels to prevent foxing and fading.
