The work The West Front of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire by Francis Towne was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2013. It achieved a price of GBP 18,750.00 (€ 21,425.14), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Towne achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lake Of Albano, Morning Sun Rising Over Rocca Del Papa in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 289,250.00 (€ 347,790.53).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
