This artwork by William Leighton Leitch achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in October 2011. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work Figures before Roslin Chapel, near Edinburgh sold for GBP 1,375.00 (€ 1,591.30) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 700.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Leighton Leitch achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Villa of Lucullus At Miseneum in November 2005 with an auction result of GBP 48,000.00 (€ 70,518.07).

Dieses Kunstwerk von William Leighton Leitch erzielte im Oktober 2011 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wurde die Arbeit Figures before Roslin Chapel, near Edinburgh für GBP 1.375,00 (€ 1.591,30) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 700,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Leighton Leitch erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Villa of Lucullus At Miseneum im November 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 48.000,00 (€ 70.518,07).
