Report by Gabriel Berner
A “jewel-like” painting of a young girl reading by Edward Frampton (1870-1932) starred in Dominic Winter’s (19.5% buyer’s premium) June 15 sale.
The catalogue cover lot, titled Once Upon a Time, is thought to have last appeared on the market over a century ago and was consigned from a collection in Berkshire. Its only label dated from the Oil Painters exhibition of 1904 – the same year Frampton painted it.
