Saved from the ashes of Ossian’s Hall This 1878 watercolour of the interior of Penicuik House, Midlothian, is almost all that remains of one of the grandest rooms in Victorian Scotland. The Grand Saloon was known as Ossian’s Hall on account of a ceiling painted by Alexander Runciman in the 1770s with scenes from the Poems of Ossian. Sadly, Penicuik was reduced to a shell by fire in 1899 but the large Indo-French carpet that adorned the saloon floor survived. Originally brought back from Pondicherry by Edward Clerk (1824-1917) of the 4th Madras Cavalry as a gift for his father, it was sold by his descendants at Lyon & Turnbull in Edinburgh on February 11.

Knight might and awesome foursome Quartet of West Country works featured in the same sale as our £105,000 cover star

by Alex Capon

The Dame Laura Knight nude study that made £105,000 to lead the latest fine art sale at David Lay (18% buyer’s premium) – as seen on the front page of last week’s ATG No 2479 – was by no means the only lot that caught bidders’ eyes in Penzance. The 768-lot auction totalled over £550,000 with an impressive sell- though rate of 92%. Not bad for an event in the midst of a lockdown. As with other auctions across the country, restrictions meant that no live viewing was held, but the saleroom organised an impressive virtual exhibition via the 360-degree platform artsteps.com. The auction house said: “It was one of our best-ever sales and David 1 has been trading for over 40 years.

Cooper Henderson: years of coaching pay off

As with many professions, artists often choose to specialise in a particular area within their vocation. For Charles Cooper Henderson (1803-77), it was painting horse- drawn coaches. A good example of his work appeared at Cheffins (25% buyer’s premium) of Cambridge. The 16½ x 2ft 2in (42 x 66cm) oil on canvas depicted a mail coach on a muddy roadway in a wooded landscape. The work was signed with the artist’s monogram on the luggage peaking out under the cover. It came to auction on December 9 1 2 from a Suffolk private collection and 1.

Miniature powers up to £1.2m Work produced in Brussels in the 1530s by a master of illumination soars way over estimate

by Ian McKay

The stand-out lot in a Sotheby’s (26/20/13.9% buyer’s premium) sale of Continental books, manuscripts and music that closed on December 1 was a miniature on vellum, Virgo inter virgines, that made around five or six times the predicted sum at £1.2m. Produced in Bruges in the 1530s or 40s, it depicts a whole group of ‘Virgins among Virgins’ in a landscape. This was a work by Simon Bening, who is widely regarded as the greatest European exponent of the art of illumination – though there were probably contributions by a second artist, said the saleroom.
