  • Description

Part of the Peter Wheat Collection

Framed Original Oil Painting by Denys Watkins Pitchford. ‘B.B.’ Bullfinch Pair on a Snowy Lane in Northamptonshire.

26″ by 22″ framed. 21″ by 17″ painting.

Annotated on the back by Peter Wheat

“James Fraser purchased this painting direct from ‘BB’ and collected it from The Roundhouse, Sudborough in November 1988. etc. etc.”

Purchased by Peter from James Fraser in April 2013.

Comes with correspondence with James Fraser and photo of ‘B.B’s’ twin brother Roger Watkins Pitchford and Bob Bateaux plus long note from Peter on the history of this painting and another ‘Goldfinches on Teasel’.

A wonderful opportunity to obtain an original  piece of ‘BB’ history.
