A retrospective sketch of one of Jack Vettriano’s most iconic images has fetched a total of £39,650 at auction.
The artist gifted the retrospective sketch of The Singing Butler to the University of St Andrews after producing it while giving a one-hour masterclass to students in 2003.
It went under the hammer at Sotheby’s Scottish pictures sale at Gleneagles Hotel on Tuesday 26th August 2008 and sold for much higher than the £20,000 estimate.
Proceeds from the sale of the picture will go to the St Andrews Students’ Charities Campaign, which supports local, national and international charitable causes.
