The Bass Fisher by Algernon Mayow Talmage – £13,500 at Andrew Smith & Son.
Algernon Mayow Talmage (1871-1939) is probably not the most familiar name in the canon of Modern British artists, but he does have supporters who believe he is undervalued.
The artist suffered a shooting accident in his youth, meaning he had to learn to paint with his left hand and was exempt from active service in the First World War.
