A top price for Charles Willis - as previously expected

The work Elegant company relaxing in a drawing room by Charles Willis was auctioned at Christies in London in August 2000. The price achieved of GBP 1,645.00 (€ 2,689.48) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Elegant company relaxing in a drawing room is the most expensive artwork by Charles Willis that we have observed at auctions so far.
