A top price for Nicolas-Charles Silvestre - as previously expected

The work An extensive landscape with fishermen and travellers on a bridge, a town in the background by Nicolas-Charles Silvestre was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2003. The price achieved of GBP 4,182.50 (€ 5,466.81) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,500.00 – 4,500.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, An extensive landscape with fishermen and travellers on a bridge, a town in the background is the most expensive artwork by Nicolas-Charles Silvestre that we have observed at auctions so far.
