Our next featured lot from our auction highlights of Ewbank's latest art sale, powered by Auction Marketer, is this framed, oil on canvas edition of Hector McDonnell's 1978 painting Belfast Street.

Our final featured lot is this excellent, limited-edition embellished print, artist's proof (number 3 of 5!) of Argentinian artist Fabian Perez's 'Proposal at the Hotel Du Vin'.

His original works focusing on tango, flamenco and nightclub life, as well as celebrity portraits, saw him present Pope Francis with his original portrait at the Vatican.
