Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Castletown Fishing Boats Beached On The Shore by John Ernest Aitken was worth GBP 4,541.00 (€ 6,615.66) to a buyer in September 2004. This price was achieved in the auction British and Continental Watercolours at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 1,000.00 many times over.
