Hammer comes down at £250 at auction sale of barn owl sketch by acclaimed artist Robert Gillmor

What am I bid  for this wise old barn owl? 

THE hammer came down at £250 on this 10cm x 10cm sketch of a barn owl at a sale in Yorkshire on Friday.

It was catalogued by auction house Tennants of Leyburn as being the work of Robert Gillmore, MBE.

But it is thought the spelling is a mistake. The well-known artist, who was an RSPB gold medallist, spelt his name Gillmor - ie without the ‘e’.

Gillmor died last year.

It is not known who bought the sketch.
