A pair of watercolours depicting Berwick-upon-Tweed, the northern-most town in England, turned up at Batemans (20% buyer’s premium) on September 2.
The landscapes were painted in 1924 by local watercolourist Frank Watson Wood (1862-1953), and formed part of a collection accumulated three decades ago from a local deceased estate.
Each sold above £200-300 estimates for £880 and £800 respectively, to separate phone bidders.
