20 March 2026 13:00 Venue: Online & Live Broadcast from David Duggleby Auctioneers in Scarborough
Join us this March for Fine Paintings, a distinguished quarterly sale celebrating centuries of artistic achievement – from Old Master tradition to the rich naturalism of British and Northern schools.This carefully curated auction brings together museum-quality works, notable exhibition pieces and evocative regional scenes, offering collectors the opportunity to acquire paintings of provenance, character and enduring appeal.The Staithes Group is particularly well represented, with important coastal scenes that capture the spirit of Yorkshire’s fishing communities. Frederick William Jackson’s commanding Fisher Folk on the Cliff above Lady Palmer’s Cottage, Runswick stands alongside Ernest Higgins Rigg’s charming depiction of children at play near Staithes and Joseph Richard Bagshawe’s atmospheric Cobles Going out from Staithes. Ernest Dade’s exhibition watercolour In the Tideway – shown at the Royal Academy in 1910 – exemplifies the ambition and scale for which the artist was renowned.Elsewhere, Walter Goodin’s bustling view of fishing boats in Bridlington Harbour and John William Gilroy’s lively Whitby market scene reflect the enduring appeal of Britain’s coastal and market towns. Herbert F. Royle’s pastoral Haymaking at Bolton Abbey offers a lyrical vision of rural Yorkshire, while Edmund John Niemann’s Derbyshire landscape captures the romance of the English countryside in the mid-19th century tradition.Earlier works bring depth and historical resonance to the sale. An Italian School panel of The Baptism of Christ, with notable Cork provenance linked to the Roche collection and the postponed 1916 sale during the Easter Rising, sits alongside a 17th century Dutch cave interior attributed to Abraham van Cuylenborch, a painter celebrated for his atmospheric grotto scenes.The natural world is exquisitely rendered in Archibald Thorburn’s finely observed Grey Wagtails, a masterful example of the artist’s celebrated wildlife studies.From coastal drama and pastoral calm to Old Master intrigue and exhibition-quality works, Fine Paintings offers a compelling journey through art history – uniting scholarship, provenance and painterly excellence in one exceptional sale. Explore the catalogue and place your bids today.
