A top price for Peter La Cave - as previously expected
The work Figures outside an inn, with a sow and piglets, houses beyond; and Figures sharpening a scythe, with two donkeys, farm buildings beyond by Peter La Cave was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2011. The price achieved of GBP 5,625.00 (€ 6,509.87) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Figures outside an inn, with a sow and piglets, houses beyond; and Figures sharpening a scythe, with two donkeys, farm buildings beyond is the most expensive artwork by Peter La Cave that we have observed at auctions so far.
