The work Digging potatoes by Lionel Percy Smythe was sold in the British Art on Paper including Victorian Watercolours from auction at Christies in London in June 2004. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 5,377.50 (€ 8,003.33), 54% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lionel Percy Smythe achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Boulogne Fisher-Folk, An Impression in December 2007 with an auction result of GBP 78,500.00 (€ 106,668.18).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 54 % übertroffen
