A top price for William Havell
When the work Woodcutters at Park Place, Henley, the River Thames beyond by William Havell was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 30,000.00 (€ 34,429.49). This high result makes Woodcutters at Park Place, Henley, the River Thames beyond the most expensive artwork by William Havell that we have observed at auctions so far.
