Note: Ralston Gudgeon was a Scottish artist, best known for painting birds and animals mostly in gouache watercolour. He studied at the Glasgow School of Art in 1933 and won the Torrance Memorial Award of the Glasgow Institute. When Ralston Gudgeon was elected to the RSW in 1937, he became the youngest man ever to achieve that honour. In 2018, "The Scottish Wild Cat" by Gudgeon sold in our auction for £900 (hammer) which "signposted" a resurgence of collector interest in his work. This resurgence of buyer interest has continued unabated.
