Upper estimate price exceeded by 41 %.
The work Still life with roses by William Somerville Shanks was sold in the British, Victorian and Scottish Pictures including Pictures auction at Christies in London in March 2002. It achieved a price of GBP 705.00 (€ 1,152.49), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 41%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Somerville Shanks achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tiddley Winks in November 2008 with an auction result of GBP 181,250.00 (€ 219,144.87).
