Wycliffe Egginton RI
HENS & ROOSTER IN THE OLD FARMYARD
Wycliffe Egginton RI, 1875 - 1951
Born in 1875, Wycliffe Egginton is the father of Frank Egginton and grandfather of Robert Egginton. Elected to the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour in 1912, Wycliffe Egginton was an outstanding watercolour artist, superb at painting both landscape and still life. His ability to paint skies in a landscape was second to none, to a point where the sky was frequently the highlight of the painting. His immense skill as a watercolourist is evident in his still life work and his flowers, as seen in the present painting, retain the strength and vibrancy, despite the passage of time, of flowers freshly picked from the garden. A truly outstanding watercolour artist.behalf of the Dolan Family.

Enter your Maximum Bid, i.e. the highest amount you’re willing to bid for a particular lot in the auction. The system will automatically raise your bid, only as much as is needed, for you to remain the highest bidder and only up to your chosen Maximum Bid, which does not include the buyer’s commission (VAT Inclusive) payable on all lots.
Please note that all Maximum Bids are confidential and are not disclosed. The system will endeavour to purchase your lot at the lowest hammer price, as is permitted by other bids or reserves, if any, and subject to the Terms and Conditions of Sale, and the auctioneer disclaims responsibility for any failure, for whatever reason, in this regard.
The system will advance your bid automatically, on your behalf, only when required, up to the maximum you have chosen. This means that you may win an item for less than your maximum bid, but it also means that you can be outbid if someone else enters a higher Maximum Bid. If you are outbid for a lot, an email will be sent to you to notify you and to invite you to increase your Maximum Bid. Please note, if a bid is received in the final minute of a timed auction, the clock resets back to sixty seconds, in order to give other bidders an opportunity to respond.
