Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Misty Sunset, Hastings by William Roxby Beverley was sold in the British Art on Paper auction at Christies in London in November 2006. It achieved a price of GBP 4,200.00 (€ 6,237.13), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Roxby Beverley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Scarborough from the strand, which sold at auction in January 2003 for GBP 11,950.00 (€ 18,302.78).
