Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Toilers of the sea; and Homeward by R. Douglas was sold in the British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings auction at Christies in London in May 2000. It achieved a price of GBP 352.50 (€ 565.63), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 18%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by R. Douglas - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sorting the catch; and Fishermen's cottages on the coast, which sold at auction in May 2000 for GBP 1,057.50 (€ 1,696.90).
