It might help if you let us see the painting! Presumably this is written on the reverse… obviously Portsmouth Point but the signature, if that’s what you’re after, is unclear!

I can’t make it out unfortunately… this looks quite flat on my screen, devoid of any texture - it could be a print!

I've seen this before - I think it's a copy of a painting or print that is quite well known, and was used as the sleeve on a William Walton record ... Portsmouth Point Overture, as I (dimly) recall.  I don't know who the original artist was, though the name on this copy (?) does look like  E G Burrows, I agree.   As to value - this version does not date to 1800, and I doubt that it would fetch very much at all.  Hang on!  Of course I've seen it before - it's a copy of a Thomas  Rowlandson print!  Bits of it are painted tolerably well, but the figures are very poorly done: I really don't think it has any value at all, frankly - beyond maybe £20 for the frame.

I hadn’t recognised it as a copy of a Thomas Rowlandson, I’ve got some original satirical cartoons of his, excellent characatures. Definitely poorly painted figures as Robert has alluded to, and in my book, a classic case of overcrowding a painting, every corner has a figure almost… The bottom writing says (now Portsea)

You remember very well Robert.    Issued in 1988.
