Horse Dealers lithograph by Robert Bevan – £11,000 at Mallams.
London’s horse dealers, auctioneers and cab-yards are among the most memorable subjects painted by Camden Town Group founder Robert Bevan (1865-1925) during the early 20th century.
Bevan, who had spent his childhood in rural Sussex, felt a natural affinity with the equestrian life of the capital, using simple and bold areas of contrasting colour, angular shapes and sharp form to convey his subjects.
