Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A family of Charaibes in the Island of St. Vincent by Augustin Brunias was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2003. The price achieved of GBP 65,725.00 (€ 66,203.00) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Augustin Brunias - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Free Women Of Dominica Bathing In A Stream; Free Women Of Dominica; A Young Couple And Child Promenading, Dominica; Flower Girls Of Dominica; Free Women Of Dominica With Child; And A Native Family Of St. Vincent, which sold at auction in June last year for USD 214,200.00 (€ 204,604.07).
