I wonder when that was framed, it's not contemporary is it?

Go on Jude, jump in, you may not see another for ages. It could be part of your....dare I say it? Christmas present.

Hi Jude I had a look a few days ago, interesting that the seller mostly sells coins and cameras, but does put in random things so I suspect he goes to auctions and buys odd bits that are interesting also.

This is a good site for looking at pics that have gone through auctions

I would read the "signed and dedicated to the artist RB" as if it were given to that artist as a gift?

looking at RB's pictures I wouldn't have 'thought' it was his style. If you look at Robert Bevan images there is one pencil sketch of 'Breton peasants' the same spareness in line isn't there don't think?

l really don't know, it would probably need to be kept nice and flat before framing and there is another picture on the back, don't like the first one. Won't be bidding:((

measures 20 x 17"

Jude I have just read the life of your Gt Grandfather(0r is it Gt Gt ) sorry I can't remember.I found it really fascinating.He was a very talented artist(not all my cup of tea) but still interesting to see his works when you put them up.

Hello Jane....
He was my Grandfather, my dads father:)))))

Must admit there are loads l don't like. He suffered with depression of even bipola and went into dark moods, maybe thats why some are strange?

Thank you:)
