The work Sunset At Whitby: A Sketch by Alfred William Hunt was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2005. It achieved a price of GBP 2,640.00 (€ 3,878.49), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 47%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alfred William Hunt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'When the leaves begin to turn' in June 2004 with an auction result of GBP 52,580.00 (€ 78,254.79).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 47 % übertroffen
