An 11-year-old painter dubbed the 'Mini Monet' has seen his latest collection sell for GBP 390,000.
Kieron Williamson's 40 watercolours, oils and pastels sold out in just minutes at the Picturecraft Gallery in Holt.
Twenty-nine of the landscapes sold for GBP 265,000 through a pre-exhibition sale with the remaining 11 pieces fetching GBP 125,000 the next day.
Kieron has been selling his work since the age of 7.
The youngster first started painting when he was just five years old and was inspired by boats in dock during a family holiday to Cornwall.
His work first came onto the market in 2009 when 19 of his paintings were sold for GBP 14,000 in a sealed-bid auction.
Since then he has gained international renown and his new collections are regularly snapped up for hundreds of thousands of pounds from buyers around the world.
Last year he saw his earnings soar to GBP 1.5m after another collection sold for GBP 250,000 in just 20 minutes.
