Swifts under the hammer was created by Jim Wright
This superb study of swifts was one of the star lots at an auction in Leyburn in North Yorkshire on Saturday.
The hammer came down at £1,200 - double the £600 highest pre-sale estimate.
The artist? Raymond Booth (1929-2015) of Leeds.
Whoever the buyer is, I certainly don’t think he/she has overpaid.
