Red-legged Partridges under the hammer was created by Jim Wright
A RARE opportunity has arisen to bid for one of the original paintings that was commissioned by publisher Harry Forbes Witherby to illustrate The Handbook of British Birds
The signed watercolour and gouache study, which measures, 23.5cm by 36cm, is by Lincolnshire artist George Edward Lodge (1860-1954).
Featuring a family of Red-legged Partridges, it is due to go under the hammer - as Lot 1010 - at a sale of British, European & Sporting Art to be held by auction house Tennants at Leyburn in North Yorkshire on March 15.
The pre-sale estimate is that it will fetch between £400 and £600.
