Notes

Although born in Oldham, Suthers lived for many years in Newlyn, Cornwall, where much of his work remains in private collections. Little is known about the artist but a mention of him in a letter from Stanhope Forbes to his mother in 1884 places him in Newlyn by 1883.

No VAT will be charged on the hammer price, but VAT at 17.5% will be added to the buyer's premium which is invoiced on a VAT inclusive basis.
