Auction result well in line with expectations

The work View on the River Almond, near Edinburgh, with Almondell Bridge and a fisherman by Alexander Nasmyth was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2007. It changed hands for a price of GBP 22,800.00 (€ 33,551.74) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alexander Nasmyth - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work View of Dreghorn Castle, Midlothian, with figures and a hay cart in the foreground, which sold at auction in October 2005 for GBP 72,000.00 (€ 106,178.24).
