A pencil and watercolour sketch by John Constable from 1832 is to be auctioned at Tennants Auctioneers in North Yorkshire next month.

A pencil and watercolour drawing by John Constable created in 1832 is set to be auctioned by Tennants Auctioneers in North Yorkshire on 14 November. The sketch of Buckden in Cambridgeshire is estimated to fetch between £6,000 and £9,000 and represents the renowned landscape painter's later work, when his style had evolved into a more expressive form.

The artwork comes from a private collection in North Yorkshire and was originally bought in 1965 from John Mitchell and Son in London. It will be part of the British, European, and Sporting Art Sale, which also features an array of portraits ranging from the 17th to the early 20th century. Among these are two significant portraits from Lady Walker of the Isle of Man: a portrait of Sir James Robert Milo Walker by Scottish portraitist Sir Francis Grant, estimated at £6,000–9,000, and a portrait of Alice Walker by Allan Ramsay, expected to fetch £4,000–6,000.
