A top price for James Stephenson Craig - as previously expected

The work The blacksmith's cottage by James Stephenson Craig was sold in the British and Victorian Pictures auction at Christies in London in September 2002. The price achieved of GBP 4,465.00 (€ 7,095.91) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The blacksmith's cottage is the most expensive artwork by James Stephenson Craig that we have observed at auctions so far.
