A sketch of an iconic Sunderland landmark is expected to fetch up to £30,000 at auction.
The pencil sketch, titled 'Penshaw Monument' by renowned artist, L.S. Lowry, will go up for auction in Newcastle in March and is estimated to fetch between £20,000 to £30,000. The sketch was created by the artist during one of his many visits to Wearside, when he often stayed at the Seaburn Hotel on the seafront.
The Penshaw Monument sketch was later exhibited and sold through The Stone Gallery in Newcastle for £350 to a private collector. The collector who owned the sketch is now relocating and is putting it up for auction.
