The work The grounds of Moydrum Castle, County Westmeath, Ireland by William Percy French was worth GBP 6,875.00 (€ 8,745.30) to a buyer in May 2008. This price was achieved in the auction The Irish Sale at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00 many times over. 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
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
