Keulemans' study of redwings on a winter's day

A STUDY of two redwings by  foremost Dutch bird illustrator Johannnes Keulemans (1842-1912) is expected to fetch between £200 and £300 when it comes up for auction on January 13.

Also in the sale to be conducted by Tennants of Leyburn in Yorkshire are other notable works of bird art.

They include an impressive water colour by Peter Alliss (born 1944) of red grouse in flight over a misty moorland and an ink-and-water colour depiction by Richard Talbot Kelly (1896-1971) of common terns and a kittiwake.

The pre-sale estimate is that these two paintings will also sell for between £200 and £300.
