| Almost ready to take flight - the Hobby as depicted by George Lodge |
A RARE chance to obtain an original painting by Lincolnshire artist George Lodge will present itself later this month.
This study of a perched Hobby will go under the hammer at a sale of British, European and Sporting Art in Leyburn, North Yorkshire, on November 16.
According to auction house Tennants, it is expected to fetch between £250 and £400.
The bird was originally catalogued as a Peregrine, but has since been re-identified.
Lodge (1860-1954) grew up in Scrivelsby, near Horncastle, and studied at Lincoln College of Art before later settling in Camberley Surrey.
He particularly enjoyed visiting the Scottish Highlands where he spent long hours watching and painting raptors and gamebirds such as Ptarmigan.
The painting is Lot 1015 in the sale, and bids are being accepted online for those unable to attend the auction in person.
