A top price for William Redmore Bigg - as previously expected

The work The Sailor Robbed; and The Sailor's Purse Recovered by William Redmore Bigg was sold in the British Pictures 1500-1850 auction at Christies in London in November 2003. The price achieved of GBP 31,070.00 (€ 44,601.44) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 25,000.00 – 40,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Sailor Robbed; and The Sailor's Purse Recovered is the most expensive artwork by William Redmore Bigg that we have observed at auctions so far.
