At North Mymms Park in Hertfordshire, a series of Victorian oils of prize cattle and ornithological art featured among the contents offered at Essex saleroom Sworders (23% buyer’s premium) on April 17-18.
The group of eight prize cattle oils drew a flurry of bids to contribute £38,650 to the £1.75m hammer total.
