2. Oil sketch by Rober Brough
'Breton Women By Street Light' by Robert Brough is estimated at £10,000-15,000 in the Lyon & Turnbull July 15 auction.
Robert Brough’s (1872-1905) art is often overshadowed by the drama of his untimely death: he suffered horrific burns in a train collision outside Sheffield.
A protégé of John Singer Sargent, the older artist rushed to comfort him in his final days and curated a memorial exhibition in celebration of his talent.
That Brough was a rising star can be glimpsed in the brushstrokes of this atmospheric 10½ x 18in (27 x 46cm) oil sketch offered by Lyon & Turnbull in Edinburgh on July 15.
Breton Women By Street Light, signed with initials, was included in Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museum’s 1995 exhibition devoted to the artist.
Estimate £10,000-15,000.
