is receiving an unprecedented amount of interest before it goes on sale on Thursday, according to auction house Bonhams.
"In my time as an auctioneer I have never seen so many commission bids lodged prior to an auction," said Hamish Wilson, senior valuer at Bonhams, referring to bids placed before a live auction."I think that speaks for itself."Wilson told CNN on Wednesday that the interest might be due in part to the fact that Balmoral is where Queen Elizabeth II spent her final days before her death at the age of 96 last month.
Asked how much the print is expected to fetch now, Wilson responded:"How long is a piece of string? I wouldn't like to say." Earlier this year, an exhibition brought together 79 of his landscape paintings, including scenes from the French countryside, the Scottish Highlands and Tanzania, which is among his"favorite places to paint," according to a press release from his educational charity, The Prince's Foundation.Charles' work regularly depicts the royal family's estates, including Balmoral Castle and Sandringham House, and he has also produced watercolors in Turkey, Nepal and the Swiss Alps.
