This rather splendid painting of a man falling through the ceiling while a lodge is in session is to go under the hammer at auction at the John Nicholson saleroom in Surrey.
It dates from the early 19th century and is estimated to sell for £1,000-£2,000. It is inscribed "Relief Lodge no. 42."
The catalogue description reads: "Interior of a Masonic Club House, with figures gathered around watching in anticipation as a man falls through the ceiling, Oil on Canvas laid down, 26” x 34”, In a Temple frame, Inscribed Relief Lodge no.42."
The sale takes place on May 22/23.
