A top price for William Sharp - as previously expected

The work Watching Over his Sister by William Sharp was sold in the American Vision auction at Christies in New York in January 2000. It changed hands for a price of USD 2,760.00 (€ 2,828.74) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Watching Over his Sister is the most expensive artwork by William Sharp that we have observed at auctions so far.
