An important wartime scene by CRW Nevinson (1889-1946) could set a major auction record for the artist this month.
A Dawn, a 1914 picture in his trademark Vorticist style of French soldiers marching grimly to the front in Flanders, has been consigned from a private source, having been acquired in 1964.
The artist had journeyed to the front within a few weeks of the outbreak of the First World War, beginning a stint as an ambulance driver and witnessing the horrors of life in the trenches.
