Upper estimate price exceeded by 47 %.
The work Portrait of Nicholas (Maccubbin) Carroll (1751-1812) by Charles Willson Peale was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January last year. It achieved a price of USD 17,640.00 (€ 15,733.14), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 47%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Willson Peale achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work George Washington at Princeton in January 2006 with an auction result of USD 21,296,000.00 (€ 17,516,038.82).
