Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A fisherman's dwelling by William Banks Fortescue was sold in the British and Victorian including Scottish Paintings auction at Christies in London in March 2004. The price achieved of GBP 4,780.00 (€ 7,155.22) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Banks Fortescue - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Putting In Broccoli Plants, Cornwall, which sold at auction in February 2019 for GBP 20,000.00 (€ 23,330.70).
