Moel Siabod from Capel Curig, one of a pair of landscapes by Sidney Richard Percy sold together for £17,500.
Landscape painter Sidney Richard Percy (1821-86) is described in Christopher Wood’s Dictionary of Victorian Painters as “a prolific and variable painter, and his prices vary accordingly”.
This remains the case on the current market with more desirable works fetching solid five-figure sums at auction but lesser works selling in the low thousands or even hundreds.
