The work Putting On His Coat (Illustrated); The Young Postman; And Snoozing by Charles Keene was sold in the British and Continental Watercolours auction at Christies in London in November 2006. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 660.00 (€ 980.12), 65% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Keene - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Cockney Boy; And A Coachman, which sold at auction in June 2006 for GBP 1,440.00 (€ 2,083.66).
