This artwork by Sue Macartney-Snape achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2004. In the British and Continental Watercolours including Original Book auction, the work The grandfather sold for GBP 1,075.50 (€ 1,522.13) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 600.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sue Macartney-Snape - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sunday morning in the shires, which sold at auction in December 2004 for GBP 3,346.00 (€ 4,735.51).
