A watercolour by Turner of ‘The Ruins of Hatfield Castle’, discovered by experts at Cheffins Auctioneers of Cambridge has sold for £30,000.
With a packed saleroom and all phones busy, keen bidding both in the saleroom and over the airwaves soon began. This wonderful painting which has been in a private collection for the last 50 years and was completely unknown, finally sold to private UK buyers. Although it was well known that Turner painted many castles during this period, Hatfield has never been recorded and was previously only known from an engraving at the Tate of 1852.
