拍品专文

Lowry was an exceptional draughtsman in pencil and made it clear that he valued his drawings as highly as his works in oil, saying, 'Can you tell me, Sir, why does a painting cost more than a drawing? After all, a drawing is every bit as important, and sometimes a damned sight more effective. Besides, it is more difficult to do; for one thing, you haven't got colour to get you out of a mess' (quoted in M. Levy, The Drawings of L.S. Lowry: Public and Private, London, 1976, p. 13).
