oil on canvas
38¾ x 49¼ in. (98.4 x125.1 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.

The work Generous Schoolboys (The Collection For A Soldier'S Widow) by William Redmore Bigg was auctioned at Christies in New York in June 2011. It achieved a price of USD 30,000.00 (€ 20,656.89), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Redmore Bigg - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Sailor Robbed; and The Sailor's Purse Recovered, which sold at auction in November 2003 for GBP 31,070.00 (€ 44,601.44).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
