By William Gregory MRICS, Golding Young and Mawer.

If it was a race to the line, the clear and outright winner at the last Lincoln Fine Art auction went to John Nost Sartorius’s painting titled Mr Snow with The Old Surrey Fox Hounds.

John Nost Sartorius was born in 1759 into a famous artistic family noted for horse and sporting themes.

The picture had been much admired prior to the auction, which resulted in some lively bidding up to £5,000; then a last-second bid right at the end, of £5,200, sealed the deal – leaving two rather disappointed under bidders.

Alfred Wallis (1855-1942) was a late starter in the artistic world, when he began painting in his seventies and had no academic or commercial success within his lifetime.

Established in the south west region of England, his works in the nature style relate to the environment that surrounded him, with fishing and boats.

This typical, but larger than normal, work landed at £1,100.

A more light-hearted and comical style is that of British artist Beryl Cook (1926-2008). Whilst not an original work, the limited edition artist-signed coloured print, titled Dog in the Dolphin, still fetched £130 at auction.

Finally, two local related pictures found bidders: Peter Brannan (1926-1994), oil on board, West Front, Lincoln Cathedral, exceeded top estimate, selling for £520; and Peter De Wint (1784-1849), watercolour, Castle Towers and Assize Courts – Lincoln sold to a Lincolnshire collector for £320.
