Impressive painting by great British landscape artist set to go under the hammer at Salisbury auction

                                                         

A flash of movement amidst a scene of tranquillity

CAN anyone spot (and identify) the waterbirds in this painting by Kettering-born and Glasgow-trained artist Sir Alfred East?

It is due to go under the hammer with a guide price of £700-£1000 at the Salisbury salesroom of auctioneers Woolley and Wallis on March 5.


It was Sir Alfred who famously (and cryptically) wrote: "The greatest errors in landscape painting are to be found - contradictory as it may appear - not so much in the matter of technique as in the painter's attitude toward Nature."
