A top price for Arthur Croft - as previously expected
The work Early Morning on the Schynige Platte, Swiss Alps by Arthur Croft was sold in the Exploration and Travel auction at Christies in London in September 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,250.00 (€ 3,226.33) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Early Morning on the Schynige Platte, Swiss Alps is the most expensive artwork by Arthur Croft that we have observed at auctions so far.
