This artwork by Dante Gabriel Rossetti achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2017. In the Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction, the work Portrait Of Miss Herbert sold for GBP 187,500.00 (€ 209,221.21) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 100,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dante Gabriel Rossetti achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Pandora in May 2014 with an auction result of GBP 5,346,500.00 (€ 6,571,020.97).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Dante Gabriel Rossetti erzielte im Juli 2017 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art wurde die Arbeit Portrait Of Miss Herbert für GBP 187.500,00 (€ 209.221,21) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 100.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Dante Gabriel Rossetti erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Pandora im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.346.500,00 (€ 6.571.020,97).
