Grey-head Wagtail - scarce sub-species of Yellow Wagtail

TWO signed  bird paintings by John Cyril Harrison (1898-1985) are due go under the hammer as a single Lot at a sale to be conducted on November 14  by auction house Tennants at their saleroom on Leyburn, North Yorkshire.

One (21.5cm x 13) depicts a Grey-headed Wagtail; the other (21.5cm x 14.5cm)  shows two Northern Lapwings  

Both are described as being "pencil and water heightened by white".

A prolific artist, Harrison was born in Wiltshire but painted most of his studies during the many years he was living in Norfolk.

The pre-sale estimate is that the hammer will fall at between £200 and £300 on the Lot which is number 1025.
