Mill amongst fields by John Arnesby Brown – £7000 at Henry Adams.
A sweeping landscape by John Arnesby Brown (1866-1955) made a multi-estimate sum at Henry Adams (20% buyer’s premium), the second time in four months a work by the painter has done so at the Chichester firm.
The auction house offered the undated 16 x 20in (41 x 51cm) oil on canvas on July 11. Lucy Homer, cataloguer and auctioneer at Henry Adams, said it attracted “a great deal of interest, particularly from Norfolk”. Consigned from a local private estate, it took £7000 against a conservative £1000-1500 guide.
