This small-scale study of a red-breasted goose by Sir Peter Scott sold for well above estimate at the saleroom of auctioneers Tennants in Leyburn, North Yorkshire, this morning. Measuring just 9.5cm by 9cm, it was expected to fetch between £200 and £300, but the bidding had reached £480 before the hammer fell. It was one of Sir Peter's last works, having been painted in 1988, the year before he died, aged 79.
