A top price for Margaret Gillies - as previously expected
The work Sorrow and Consolation: 'Ill tidings from the field of battle' by Margaret Gillies was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2010. It changed hands for a price of GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,286.25) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00.
