Lot description

HM King Charles III (b.1948) Balmoral Castle Lithograph printed in colours, 1991, signed, dated and titled in pencil, numbered from the edition of 295, printed by Curwen Studio, Chilford, published by Anna Hunter, Elstree, on Somerset wove paper, sheet 450 x 593mm (17 3/4 x 23 3/8in); and with the original English gilt frame, overall 610 x 770mm (24 x 30 1/4in) ''One thing I have discovered in the course of my painting efforts is that Balmoral Castle is marginally easier to paint than Sandringham House. Both seem to be peppered with turrets of various kinds and to boast the most complicated sorts of gables which defy my limited reserves of patience! But what I love about Balmoral, and this sketch was done in August, is the wonderful shadows. They, alone, made my painting finger itch, so I sat out in a field on three consecutive days at exactly the same time of day, being examined by some rather inquisitive Highland cows.'' Extract from HRH Prince of Wales Watercolours (Little, Brown and Company, 1991) This lot is sold subject to Artists Resale Rights, details of which can be found in our Terms and Conditions.
