Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Skaters, A Scene On Duddingston Loch Near Edinburgh by Charles Lees was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2013. It changed hands for a price of GBP 110,500.00 (€ 132,971.96) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Lees - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The finished sketch for The Golfers: A Grand Match played on the St. Andrews Links by Sir David Baird, Bt. and Sir Ralph Anstruther, Bt. of Balcaskie, against Major Playfair and John Campbell, Esq., of Glensaddell, in 1850, which sold at auction in May 2012 for GBP 337,250.00 (€ 420,198.66).
