This spring’s Scottish Pictures Auction brought together 31 spectacular lots of Scottish art, which led to fierce bidding and extraordinary hammer prices. There was constant excitement in the saleroom, with oils by George Houston preforming well, alongside an oil and a watercolour by John MacLauchlan Milne. The peak of the saleroom excitement was in the 30 minute bidding war for lot 212, The Geisha & the Orange Tree, and exceptional oil by Edward Atkinson Hornel; originally estimated at £6,000-9,000, it was finally knocked down at £24,000, after tense and savvy bidding online and in the room.
