Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by John White Abbott could be acquired at Sothebys in London in July 2011 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master and British Drawings Including Property from the Descendants of Walter Brandt auction, the work Cornworthy Abbey, South Hams, Devon changed hands for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,890.09) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00.
