A lost drawing by the late Glasgow artist Hannah Frank will go under the hammer today.

The drawing was discovered by chance by the artist's niece on the internet.

Hannah produced the drawing, 'Spirit of Delight' in 1927, when she was 19 and just setting out on her career as an artist.

Her niece Fiona Frank knew that the drawing existed but not its whereabouts.

Adam Brawn Meek, an antiques dealer from Norwich, came forward after seeing prints by the artist on the internet.

Fiona said: "Adam was offered a set of Hannah's drawings in the 1970s.

"Spirit of Delight was one of these drawings and had been languishing in his attic for 30 years."

A bronze sculpture, from 1954, by Hannah will also be auctioned at Glasgow auctioneers McTears.

The picture is expected to sell for between £2000 and £3000 and the sculpture is estimated at £2500 to £3500.

Hannah Frank was born in 1908 in the Gorbals.

She studied at Glasgow University and also attended evening classes at Glasgow School of Art.

Hannah died in 2008 at the age of 100 and in 2009 became the first person ever to receive a posthumous honorary doctorate from Glasgow University.

She was also honoured with a posthumous Lord Provost's Award from Glasgow City Council.
