New Leighton drawing discovered

May 6 2015

Video: Sotheby's

A newly discovered drawing by Lord Leighton (below), a study for his 'Flaming June', will be sold by Sotheby's as part of their 'Duchess' sale - featuring items from the estate of Mary, Duchess of Roxburgh.

The sale is the subject of the above video, in which Sotheby's goes for the full 'Downton Abbey' effect. It works rather well.

Anyway, more details of the drawing here.
