A reader has kindly been in touch with news that this nude study soared past its modest £60 - £80 estimate at Gorringe's this week to achieve an impressive £38,000. The painting's description in the online catalogue was 'Impasto oil on board, Abstract composition, Nude art school study (believed to be Slade)'. I wonder what the consignor thought after hearing the result!
