A top price for Ethelbert White
When the work The level crossing (recto); A sketch of a male nude (verso) by Ethelbert White was auctioned at Christies in London in August 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 13,750.00 (€ 17,341.73). This high result makes The level crossing (recto); A sketch of a male nude (verso) the most expensive artwork by Ethelbert White that we have observed at auctions so far.
