Nelson & Emma painting for auction; worth looking at!

[Eileen]

An historic picture of Nelson with Sir William and Lady Hamilton is to be auctioned at Bonhams soon, it is in a sketchbook containing 36 other watercolours painted by Ellis Cornelia Knight when she accompanied the trio on board Nelson's flagship, the Foudroyant, in the Mediterranean in 1800.

The sketchbook, completed in 1806, is estimated to fetch £10, 000 - £15, 000 at a Bonhams manuscripts auction in London on March 23.

Hope it goes to either an art gallery who will preserve it for the nation or to someone who genuinely admires Nelson
