WINTER IS COMING

70cm x 90cm
Framed
Note: Edward H Chisnall is a well-known artist, author and broadcaster who was born in Glasgow in 1942. He works from a "haunted studio" in his home town of Glasgow. His written works include Bell in the Tree: The Glasgow Story which was also broadcast as a series three times a day, every day of the week throughout 1990 by Radio Clyde (a copy of the book is included with this lot). His paintings rarely appear at auction but whenever they do, it is very obvious how much time it must take to complete each one. The level of detail is always impressive but it's Edward Chisnall's imagination which is even more intriguing.

 

A condition report is offered as an indication of any issues visible to the naked eye. As none of our staff is a professional conservator or restorer, buyers must satisfy themselves in respect of condition and McTear’s can provide contact details of local professionals who can provide fully comprehensive expert reports, usually for a modest charge. The condition report does not form part of any contract between McTear's and the buyer, and all lots are offered "as is" in accordance with our Terms of Business available on our website.
