A Kent auctioneer is offering the sale of two prints of Deal beach by L.S. Lowry.

The painter came to Deal in 1912 and sketched the beach scene. It is simply called Deal.

In 1947, he used the sketch as a basis for a full painting of the same scene called The Beach.

Venture Prints of Bristol in 1973 published the two images as signed limited editions.

The Beach is estimated at £2,000 to £3,000 and Deal is estimated at £800 to £1,200.

The auction will be held on September 19, at 11am, at 18 The Glenmore Centre, Pent Road in Shearway Business Park, Folkestone.
