Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The Recovery of His Majesty in the Year 1789 by Benjamin West was sold in the Old Masters Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in London in December 2021. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 200,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 201,600.00 (€ 240,466.51). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Benjamin West - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of Prince William (1776-1834), Later 2Nd Duke Of Gloucester And Edinburgh, And His Elder Sister, Princess Sophia (1773-1844) Of Gloucester, which sold at auction in July 2013 for GBP 578,500.00 (€ 661,037.08).
