The Fisherman’s Daughter – Large Ernest Walbourn Signed Colour Print

Description

Ernest Walbourn Signed Print – The Fisherman’s Daughter

This large Ernest Walbourn signed print, entitled The Fisherman’s Daughter, presents a picturesque coastal scene in the romantic rural style for which the British artist is best known.

A young woman stands in the garden of a whitewashed thatched cottage, gently holding a cat in her arms. Flowers, foliage and rustic fencing frame the composition, while an open gate reveals the shoreline, a small boat and a sailing vessel in the distance. The carefully arranged setting creates a peaceful and nostalgic image of English country and coastal life.

Artist

Ernest Charles Walbourn (1872–1927) was a British landscape painter celebrated for his idyllic rural scenes, thatched cottages, gardens and elegant figures. His compositions were frequently reproduced as decorative prints during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The name Ernest Walbourn appears within the image at the lower right. The lower margin also bears a pencil inscription or signature associated with the artist.

Technique and Date

The work appears to be a colour photogravure or a closely related period colour-printing process, produced during the early twentieth century, probably around 1910–1920.

The printed title The Fisherman’s Daughter appears beneath the image.
