Lot 205: C. Leslie Hawkes, Cartmel Priory, Pen and Ink Drawing, 1983
A pen and ink drawing on toned paper by C. Leslie Hawkes, depicting the historic Cartmel Priory. The architectural study captures the priory’s distinctive square tower and Gothic structural details through fine, illustrative line work. The artwork is signed twice by the artist, once in the upper right corner as C. Leslie Hawkes 83 and again in the lower right corner as C. Leslie Hawkes. The title Cartmel Priory is inscribed vertically along the right-hand edge of the composition. The drawing is presented in a dark green mount and a stained wooden frame with a gold-tone inner slip. Auction lot stickers are visible on the glass.
Condition report:
The paper exhibits a light and even tone consistent with its age, with no visible foxing, tears, or significant staining. The frame and mount appear to be in good overall condition, showing only minor surface wear from handling. Two auction stickers are adhered to the glass surface.
