William E. Harris (Fl.1883-1891)
The winding of the Llugwy, near Capel Curig
signed and dated 'W. E. Harris/1917' (lower right)
oil on canvas
20 x 30 in. (50.8 x 76.2 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 88 %.

This artwork by William E. Harris achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2003. In the British and Victorian Pictures auction, the work The winding of the Llugwy, near Capel Curig sold for GBP 2,820.00 (€ 2,840.51) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by William E. Harris; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot A summer's day by the lock, possibly the Thames sold at auction in January 2001 with the realized price of GBP 2,820.00 (€ 4,427.23).
