Leading lots include:

  • Still life with Roses in a Chinese Vase, a classic still life by the Scottish Colourist Samuel Peploe, estimated at £300,000-500,000. The painting, which has been in the same family since the 1920s and is completely fresh to the market, is a characteristic Peploe ‘rose’ oil and features many of the artist’s favoured motifs – Chinese vase, fruit, fan and roses.

 

  • A Summer Evening on the Musselburgh Links: Golfers, Charles Lees, estimated at £300,000-500,000. Fife born Lees (1800-1880) painted the celebrated A Grand Match Played Over St Andrews Links, which now hangs in the National Portrait Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh.

 

  • The Rainbow by John Bellany painted in 1972, and estimated at £12,000-18,000. Bellany’s works of the period often make reference to family, and the Calvinist oppression he knew from his childhood in Port Seton.
