This painting of a flower market in Paris (below) by the Australian artist Ethel Carrick-Fox (1872-1952) took top honours at The Cotswold Auction Company (20% buyer’s premium) in Cheltenham on November 14.
The 10 x 13in (26 x 34cm) oil on board is typical of the lively scenes she painted of markets, parks and flower gardens.
The painting came from a private source and bore an original label for Parisienne art dealership Lefebvre-Foinet in Montparnasse.
