Vettriano's Fish Teas painting expected to sell for £50,000
An oil painting by Jack Vettriano showing an idyllic day out on a Scottish seafront is set to fetch £50,000 when it goes under the hammer.
The 69-year-old artist's painting, Fish Teas, will be auctioned next week at a sale of contemporary and post-war art at Lyon & Turnbull in Edinburgh.
It depicts a smartly dressed man lounging against a railing on a promenade smoking a cigarette, while a woman in a 1950s style dress looks into the distance on a seafront.
A Saltire flag flies in the background and the words 'Fish Teas' can be seen painted on a wooden building.
In 2009, the painting was reportedly part of a £20 million collection gathered by RBS.
The Antiques Roadshow's Charlotte Riordan, an associate director with Lyon & Turnbull, said: "It's one of the nicest examples we've seen of Vettriano's work, a good example from a good stage in his career."
Vettriano's best-known painting, The Singing Butler, sold for £744,800 in 2004.
