Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Shah Hamadan's Mosque, Srinagar, Kashmir by William Simpson was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2007. The price achieved of GBP 8,750.00 (€ 12,546.86) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. Admittedly, works by William Simpson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives in March last year with an auction result of GBP 94,500.00 (€ 112,040.39).
