William Turner, The Funeral, oil.

William Turner F.R.S.A., R.Cam.A. (1920-2013), The Funeral, signed, titled on exhibition label verso, oil on board, 41.5 x 46.5cm.; 16.5 x 18.5in. The Funeral painting is illustrative of Will's quirky sense of humour. He was struck by the comical idea of the corpse, lying in the grave, and looking up at the sky, and the mourners gazing down into the grave. It was one of Will's favourite pictures - Dave Gunning, Todmorden Fine Art. Artists' Resale Right (droit de suite) may apply to this lot.

Sold for £12,500
