The Shag [Seagull]
Artist: Archibald Bertram Webb
Circa: 1921

The Shag shows a seabird perched atop a piling, gazing over calm waters dotted with sailboats. Archibald Bertram Webb, a British-born artist who later became active in Australia, was known for his finely executed woodcuts that captured landscapes, wildlife, and maritime life. With clean lines and a delicate palette, this piece evokes both stillness and movement—the quiet of the bird’s pose set against the drifting rhythm of sails and sea.
