AUCTION OF IRISH PAINTINGS
287 Lots including works by William Percy French, James Humbert Craig, Maurice Canning Wilks, Gregory Moore, Kenneth Webb and Wycliffe Egginton. Plenty of value and much to choose from – time to purchase an early Christmas present? Star of the sale, for me anyway, is Lot.33. “The Ben Crom Reservoir, Upper Silent Valley” an oil on canvas by Maurice Canning Wilks which carries a paltry reserve of £1,000 – £1,500! An iconic painting which perfectly captures the meeting of the industrial revolution with nature or it could just be a picture of a dam in the mountains. Either way, it’s a steal at that price.
Lot.33. “The Ben Crom Reservoir, Upper Silent Valley” oil on canvas by Maurice Canning Wilks. Est. £1,000 – £1,500
