The hammer came down at £900 when this painting of Ballochbuie, near Balmoral, by King Charles came up for auction at a sale held earlier this month by Gloucestershire firm Dominic Winter. This seems a respectable price given that it is not the original but one of 20 prints. The scene was painted in April, 2002, long before Charles became King. Might it have been enhanced if it had included a passing raptor such as an Osprey or a Golden Eagle?
