L S Lowry Sketch Drawing of Fishing Boats 1941
An original pencil sketch attributed to L S Lowry showing fishing boats out at sea, signed and dated 1941. It is a single drawing on a sheet measuring 9.5″ x 7″, the paper slightly aged and yellowed.
A genuine drawing, not a print, though no provenance is held. While best known for industrial scenes, Lowry was also fascinated by the sea, and this sketch is an appealing piece of British art memorabilia.

A delightful small sketch, signed and autographed.
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 mostly 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 now, so we gave up.
You may well find that these are genuine by the artist, and good luck, but we have completed our journey on these, you may have more time that us to follow it up.
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, vlcr, a few tiny age marks, a few tiny edge nicks
