A top price for James Archer
In February 2003 Christies in London held the auction THE FORBES COLLECTION OF VICTORIAN PICTURES AND WORKS OF ART, which included the work The Betrothal of Robert Burns and Highland Mary by James Archer. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 74,090.00 (€ 108,169.06), 23% above the upper estimate.
