A trio of framed artworks including two oil paintings and a railway print by Philip D. Hawkins. This lot comprises two original oil on canvas paintings and one framed colour print on paper. The first painting is a Mediterranean coastal landscape featuring a terraced villa and sailboats, executed in an impressionistic style with heavy impasto brushwork. It is signed DANTE in white paint in the lower right corner. The second painting is a coastal seascape depicting a cresting wave, signed Schubert in brown paint in the lower right corner. Both works are presented in dark-stained timber frames with gilded slips. The collection is completed by a framed print titled The Power And The Glory by Philip D. Hawkins G.R.A., published by Quicksilver Publishing. The print depicts the GWR locomotive No. 6024 King Edward I and carries a reproduced artist signature in the lower left of the image along with descriptive text in the lower margin.
