Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Boston Church from the South West by Thomas Girtin was sold in the Old Master & British Drawings auction at Christies in London in July 2016. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 70,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 74,500.00 (€ 88,522.12). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Girtin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Durham Cathedral And Castle, which sold at auction in July 2010 for GBP 265,250.00 (€ 318,933.24).
