Several single-owner collections boosted the total of Tennants’ (20% buyer’s premium)Spring Fine Art Sale in Leyburn, North Yorkshire, on March 25.
Among them was a 16-lot private group of work by local Yorkshire artists depicting scenes around Whitby and the Yorkshire coast, which caught the attention of both trade and private buyers from the county.
The top lot was a collection of sketches by George Haydock Dodgson (1811-80) depicting Whitby and its environs, which sold to an anonymous buyer for £6500 against an estimate of £600-900.
