This artwork by Jack Vettriano achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in August 2008. In the Scottish & Sporting Pictures auction, the work The Singing Butler - A Retrospective Sketch sold for GBP 39,650.00 (€ 49,167.19) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jack Vettriano achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Bluebird At Bonneville in August 2007 with an auction result of GBP 468,000.00 (€ 691,827.58).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jack Vettriano erzielte im August 2008 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Scottish & Sporting Pictures wurde die Arbeit The Singing Butler - A Retrospective Sketch für GBP 39.650,00 (€ 49.167,19) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jack Vettriano erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Bluebird At Bonneville im August 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 468.000,00 (€ 691.827,58).
