A watercolour drawing of children out walking in late summer is one of a collection of pictures in the Charterhouse two-day January 5 and 6 auctions.

“With having been so cold recently I found myself almost transfixed on this picture with its late summer warm evening.”
saidd Richard Bromell of Charterhouse.
“I’ve always had huge admiration for artists as I struggle to even draw stick men properly!”

The watercolour, painted by Benjamin Signmund, depicts two young girls walking home with one carrying a wooden hay rake, whilst a young boy, probably their brother, stops to pick some berries.
The watercolour is one of several pictures from a Dorset collection.
