The most expensively estimated paintings are Nathanial Hill’s Breton Peasants at a convent door (1884) estimated at 50,000-70,000, John Shinnors Over the Island, Coastal Composition 2007 estimated at 50,000-70,000 and Paul Henry’s The Bog Road estimated at 40,000-60,000. This is a sale with something for everyone and estimates from 400 euro up. The Hill work made 45,000, a new record for the artist, the Henry sold for 72,000 and the Shinnors failed to sell.
