Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work 'What a lot of water' by Honor Charlotte Appleton was worth GBP 2,270.50 (€ 3,213.38) to a buyer in December 2004. This price was achieved in the auction British and Continental Watercolours including Original Book at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 600.00 many times over.
