Scottish Paintings & Sculpture

Sale number: 603&nbsp;Huge confidence was shown in the market for Scottish paintings at our specialist sale of Scottish Paintings &amp; Sculpture that took place on Wednesday 15 July 2020. This remarkable sale, that attracted close to 500 international bidders competing via remote means, shot over its top estimate and generated a selling rate of 97%, with 100 of 103 lots offered sold.Head of Sale, Nick Curnow, said the sale demonstrated great confidence – and a distinct uplift – in the market.&nbsp;<blockquote>“We were delighted to see an increased interest in traditional pictures, and continued competition on the big names of Scottish art.”</blockquote>There are few bigger names in Scottish Victorian art than William McTaggart (1835-1910). He remained loyal to his heritage throughout his career, when asked to follow his contemporaries to London he answered simply: “No, I would rather be first in my own country than second in any other.” He painted the coastline of the Firth of Forth on many occasions, his 66 x 70cm oil The Fleet Leaving Port Seton Harbour typical in its broad, expressive handling of paint and en-plein air technique. Estimated at £10,000-15,000 , the piece found many admirers before it sold at £45,000.Bidding was particularly strong across four internet platforms – including Lyon &amp; Turnbull’s bespoke service. “This was the first sale since ‘lockdown’ that we were able to offer viewing by appointment, which was greatly appreciated by our clients” said Nick Curnow. “Overall, the predominantly private audience for this sale adapted well to the live online format, with the majority of online bidders accessing the auction through our in-house platform, Lyon &amp; Turnbull Live.”*All prices include Buyer’s Premium.&nbsp;
