Artist: Walter Hoyle

Title: Les Enfants - an original signed colour etching with aquatint, framed

Description: Walter Hoyle (1922-2000) was a painter, printmaker and designer, born in Rushton, Lancashire. He studied at Beckenham School of Art from 1938 and at the Royal College of Art 1940-42 and 1947-48, being influenced chiefly by his tutor Edward Bawden. He was then attached as artist to the Byzantine Institute in Istanbul 1948-49. He became a close friend of Bawden, and Hoyle later moved to Great Bardfield in Essex where he was to live and work for 22 years. Hoyle exhibited extensively, including at the Royal Academy from 1957, and his work is held in a number of public collections, including The Tate Gallery, Victoria & Albert Museum, The British Museum, and by eleven examples in the Government Art Collection.

The present work is a framed original etching with aquatint, known as 'Les Enfants', pencil signed by the artist and numbered 8 from a very small edition of 10 prints. It measures about 17.7 x 23.5 inches image size and about 26 x 31.5 inches in its original wooden frame, and is a relatively early print by Hoyle dating to circa 1959.  It is in good original condition and the frame is in good order too save for some minor wear and tear over some fifty years...
