William Percy French (1854-1920)
A sailing boat on a lake
signed and dated 'Percy French. 1911' (lower left)
watercolour
6¾ x 9¾ in. (17.2 x 24.8 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.

The work A sailing boat on a lake by William Percy French was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2008. It achieved a price of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 6,042.21), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Percy French achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Paint Brush and Pen: Some Impressions for Pictures and Snatches of Song by William Percy French'; an album of thirteen watercolours including The Fairie's Cough; Morning; Evening; In the Studio; The Kindly Welcome; To E.R.; To the Dark Rosaleen; Gor in May 2000 with an auction result of GBP 58,750.00 (€ 94,2

Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen
