This artwork by Sir William Nicholson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March 2018. In the Modern | British & Irish Art auction, the work The Convalescent: Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney in Paris sold for GBP 30,000.00 (€ 34,156.66) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sir William Nicholson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sunflowers in March this year with an auction result of GBP 756,000.00 (€ 860,096.03).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Sir William Nicholson erzielte im März 2018 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern | British & Irish Art wurde die Arbeit The Convalescent: Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney in Paris für GBP 30.000,00 (€ 34.156,66) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sir William Nicholson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sunflowers im März diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 756.000,00 (€ 860.096,03).
