Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work An Arab merchant in the Souk, Algiers by William Wyld was sold in the Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours auction at Christies in London in July 2013. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,855.89). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Wyld - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work On the Grand Canal, Venice, which sold at auction in September 2006 for GBP 10,800.00 (€ 15,932.28).
