Landseer find

Works by Sir Edwin Landseer, RA (1802-1873) rarely come on to the market and when they do, they usually attract substantial prices at auction. However just occasionally a modest item will turn up and Cheffin's, the Cambridge based auction house, sold just such an item at their sale on Thursday January 16th. This fine drawing of a "Scottish Deerhound" in pencil and charcoal, heightened in white measured just six and three quarter inches by nine and a half inches (17 x 24cm) but still managed to sell for a hammer price of £2,300
