"Moorings"
Signed, inscribed and dated (19)68, ink and wash, together with a further work by the same hand depicting boats, 17cm by 12cm (2)
Moorings, ever so slight time stating to the paper. Slight cockling to the paper. Some light surface dirt and debris trapped under the glass.
The second example is in a similar condition to the former, the odd tiny minor sporadic foxing spot in evidence, in particular one below the signature and one to the lower left of the bottom boat.
Not examined out of the frames.

Estimated at £150 - £200

Amongst a strong section of Northern art in the sale is a small family collection of drawings by the great L.S.

Further Northern artists represented in the sale include Harold Riley, Peter Brook, Brian 'Braaq' Shields, Norman Cornish, and Len Tabner.
Further highlights include a vivid seascape by Scottish artist Sir William MacTaggart, a harbour scene by Chinese-born Singaporean artist Cheong Soo Pieng who founded the Nanyang style of art, and a striking industrial landscape by Staffordshire artist Maurice Wade.
