A week or two back I mentioned how frequently local items crop up in the most far-flung salerooms. Here’s another – a scene by Newtyle artist William Bradley Lamond consigned to a German saleroom from a collector in the Ruhr region.
Oil on canvas, 18 x 14 inches, but handsomely wider in its good gilt frame, Fisher Village is signed lower left, ‘W. B. Lamond’. Lamond had a studio at Auchmithie, near Arbroath, and, although by no means a regular visitor to this area, I think it might be a view of its shore.
