Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Courageous Brother by William Frederick Witherington was sold in the Victorian and Traditonalist Pictures auction at Christies in London in November 2007. The price achieved of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 11,377.10) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Frederick Witherington - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The midday rest, which sold at auction in June 2004 for GBP 16,730.00 (€ 24,899.25).
