Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work A gentleman golfer striding across the course by Francis Grant was worth GBP 2,000.00 (€ 2,491.91) to a buyer in May 2012. This price was achieved in the auction Origins of Golf: The Jaime Ortiz-Patino Collection at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 600.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Grant achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Daisy Grant, The Artist'S Daughter, Full Length, Wearing A Black Dress, Red Petticoat, Black Shawl, Hat And Boots, And Grey Gloves In A Winter Landscape in June 2001 with an auction result of GBP 174,250.00 (€ 289,463.92).
