Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Head of Windermere from Belle Grange Farm by John 'Warwick' Smith was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2021. The result of GBP 6,000.00 (€ 7,036.24) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 6,000.00 – 10,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John 'Warwick' Smith - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work St. Cosimato And Remains Of The Claudian Aqueduct: Situated On The River Anio, 10 Miles Above Tivoli, In The Apennines; And Port Of Terracina, And Ruins Of Anticul Anxur, Situated On The Confines Of The Roman Territories, Entering The Kingdom Of Napl, which sold at auction in December 2007 for GBP 16,100.00 (€ 21,8
