A painting by 11-year-old artist Kieron Williamson is being sold by a private collector. The pastel titled ‘St Bennet’s Sunset’ depicts the famous abbey in Norfolk at sunset, created when the artist was only nine years old.
Williamson has attracted international media interest during recent years. The 11-year-old’s collections have sold at auctions within minutes, to international buyers and collectors. ‘St Bennet’s Sunset’ has been placed in an online auction and, despite the £11,000 starting price, will gain substantial interest from buyers.

Kieron shot to fame when he was just six years old and, with his paintings attracting hundreds of thousands of pounds, he has since become a millionaire several times over.
His latest exhibition at the Picturecraft Gallery in Holt features 40 of his own pictures and thirty by his hero.
Seago’s skill at portraying landscapes and seascapes gave him a worldwide following and he is still hugely popular today.
But Kieron’s pictures often sell for more – his latest works to coincide with this exhibition have already netted a cool quarter of a million.
