A top price for William Andrews Nesfield - as previously expected
The work Unloading the catch before a ruined castle at sunset by William Andrews Nesfield was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2011. The price achieved of GBP 3,250.00 (€ 3,716.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 4,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Unloading the catch before a ruined castle at sunset is the most expensive artwork by William Andrews Nesfield that we have observed at auctions so far.
