| Bidding went through the roof for work by French artist |
A STAR performer at an art auction earlier this week was a study of Egyptian Plovers - a species not believed yet to have been recorded in Britain (and, incidentally, no longer present in Egypt).
The oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Simon Bussy (1870-1954) was expected to fetch between £6,000 and £8,000 at Wednesday's sale conducted by Woolley and Wallis at their premises in Salisbury in Wiltshire.
In the event, the sale price (including buyer's commission) for the 35.5cm x 27.4cm work was a staggering £30,240.
