L S Lowry Sketch Drawing Of His Mother – 1909 – OLD
A very old pencil sketch dated 1909, depicting Lowry’s mother or a girl, and offered as an early L S Lowry drawing. The bottom left reads ‘From Laurie’, and the rear is marked NFS, keep and Laurie Lowry.
Lowry made many sketches of his mother and of young women in his early years as an art student. An early study from the very start of Lowry’s long career, this is a fascinating item for collectors of L S Lowry related artwork.

If this is real you are talking mega money, it should be in a museum if it is.
We have checked and Lowry sketched quite a few of his mother and girls early on.
Have a look at the Lowry museum sketches, one very similar to this.
A Genuine pencil sketch, NOT a print.
This art work was part of a large collection purchased by us in one lot from the same person/collector, with lots of different artists are listed here to see. They are all just as we bought them, no frames, and no alterations, just as is.
We tried to get the Lowry pictures authenticated, but the dealer we took them to said they are really good, they see a lot of fakes, but they could not be 100% certain that they are genuine, so in this case they had to say no.
This does not mean they are not genuine though, far from it, just one persons opinion. The Lowry Centre in Salford does not even look at peoples pictures, so we gave up.
You may well find that these are genuine by the artist, and good luck, but we have run out of time to look around.
So these pictures are being sold as not genuine to be safe, it's your decision, you may well get a genuine masterpiece, or not.
We have priced them extremely low, you may make thousands if they are real, or add to your collection at just a fraction of the price.
Some of these items have reference numbers on the rear (could be gallery display numbers), some have NFS and some even have old prices on the rear as if offered for sale in a gallery.
Again we state it is your choice to decide, we are not selling these as genuine, no returns, sorry.
Condition: V Good, lcr, a few age spotting marks, writing on the rear, a brush/paint splatter mark on the front, a rough cut edge, as if taken from a larger piece crudely
