A FAMOUS view of the River Swale, painted more than a century ago, goes on sale at Sotheby's in London next month.
Edmund Niemann and his son, Edward, were renowned for their landscapes throughout the 19th Century, and there is often confusion in the art world over which one of them should be credited with work depicting the River Swale at Richmond.
However, experts are confident it was the father who was behind the view of the Norman ruins, which Edmund Niemann is known to have painted on a number of occasions.
The painting is valued between £1,200 and £1,800 and goes under the hammer at Sotheby's Olympia on Hammersmith Road on Wednesday, May 1.
