"The [submitted] image was poor, and the painting was behind old glass, which had a greenish tint. I had an instinct, from the strong brushstrokes, economy of line and the palette, that we really needed to see this properly." - Rosie Jarvie, Christie's specialist.
"Turner's watercolours have sold for much more than the Christie's estimate. For instance, a similar sketch, Sunrise over the Sea, was estimated between £600,000 and £800,000, and sold for £1m." - Expert analysis.
