A top price for Frances Macdonald MacNair - as previously expected
The work The Sleeping Princess by Frances Macdonald MacNair was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2005. The price achieved of GBP 66,000.00 (€ 97,816.17) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Sleeping Princess is the most expensive artwork by Frances Macdonald MacNair that we have observed at auctions so far.

Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Sleeping Princess das teuerste Kunstwerk von Frances Macdonald MacNair, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
