A top price for Henry James Pidding

In June 2000 Christies in London held the auction British Pictures, which included the work Figures playing baccarat in a gaming room by Henry James Pidding. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 23,500.00 (€ 37,250.39), 31% above the upper estimate. With this result, Figures playing baccarat in a gaming room is even the most expensive work of art by Henry James Pidding that we have observed at auctions so far.
