This famous study of a Loch Garten Osprey has today failed to sell at auction. The pre-sale estimate for the imposing 77.5cm x 77.5cm oil-on-board by former Royal Marine Norman Orr (1924-1933)was that it would fetch between £700 and £1,000 but it seems no bidding came anywhere near this price. Any buyer would also have had to pay a 22 per cent commission. The possibility is that auction house Tennants of Leyburn in North Yorkshire will now offer it another auction later in the year. |
