Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Figures conversing on a hill overlooking ships anchored in Scarborough Bay, the castle beyond by Francis Nicholson was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2011. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,694.69) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Francis Nicholson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Two Views of Weymouth in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 8,400.00 (€ 12,474.26).
