British Drawings and Watercolours

British drawings and watercolours, spanning works from J.M.W. Turner, Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable, to Pre-Raphaelites and British Impressionists such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, and Dame Laura Knight are sold alongside Old Master and 19th Century paintings twice a year in London, and in a dedicated Drawings auction in New York in January.

Our experienced Drawings specialists, based in London, Paris, New York and Hong Kong, are committed to seeking out works of historic provenance and academic importance and are available for free and confidential valuations or advice.
