A top price for Octavius Oakley - as previously expected
The work A young gypsy girl standing in a field by Octavius Oakley was sold in the British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings auction at Christies in London in September 2001. The price achieved of GBP 940.00 (€ 1,517.70) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A young gypsy girl standing in a field is the most expensive artwork by Octavius Oakley that we have observed at auctions so far.
