This artwork by Frank Egginton achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2006. In the The 10th Anniversary Irish Sale auction, the work A Cottage Near Kilkieran, Connemara sold for GBP 3,600.00 (€ 5,254.83) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frank Egginton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sheephaven and Melmore Head, from Horn Head, Co. Donegal, which sold at auction in May 2001 for GBP 7,050.00 (€ 11,819.49).
