Upper estimate price exceeded by 44 %.
The work Sails Against The Morning Sky, Venice by Arthur Melville was sold in the Scottish Art auction at Sothebys in London in November 2020. It achieved a price of GBP 10,080.00 (€ 11,252.68), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 44%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Arthur Melville achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work After The Play in December 2007 with an auction result of GBP 174,500.00 (€ 237,115.90).
