F. Grayson Sayre (1879–1939) & Stewart Robertson (1887–1967) Etching "The Old Ramada". A scarce collaborative etching by California artists F. Grayson Sayre and Stewart Robertson, The Old Ramada captures a serene, rustic scene featuring a thatched-roof structure beneath a canopy of mature trees. The etching's intricate linework and rich tonal depth exemplify Sayre’s technical expertise in printmaking, while the composition’s grounded naturalism and architectural subject reflect Robertson’s landscape sensibilities. The title is inscribed in the plate lower center. Below the image, the piece is signed in pencil by Sayre, accompanied by a dedication referencing Stewart Robertson—affirming their partnership in the creation of the work.Dimensions: Sight 5"h x 6.25"w, frame 10.25"h x 13"wThis lot may be picked up free of charge in Sacramento CA.
