Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work View of the palace and village of Choisy on the bank of the Seine, Paris by Thomas Girtin was worth USD 18,750.00 (€ 16,369.83) to a buyer in January 2019. This price was achieved in the auction Old Master & British Drawings at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 6,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Girtin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Durham Cathedral And Castle in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 265,250.00 (€ 318,933.24).
