A unique painting by Arthur Ballard, a former tutor of The Beatles' members John Lennon and Stuart Sutcliffe, is going up for auction. The oil painting, which is signed and dated 1954, will be auctioned on Wednesday, August 20, at the Wotton Auction Rooms. It's expected to sell for between £300 and £500.
Arthur Ballard was a well-known artist and lecturer in Liverpool during the 1950s and 60s.
He taught at the Liverpool School of Art while Lennon and Sutcliffe were students. According to Toby Lennox-Hilton, a specialist at the auction house, Ballard may have been a major influence on Sutcliffe's decision to pursue a career in art rather than music.
The painting, which measures 33cm by 41cm, is titled "A View of Fordingbridge, Hampshire."
Its estimated value reflects both its artistic merit and its rare connection to two of the world's most famous musicians.
