Description

Harriet Cheney (1771-1848)
The Temple of Paestum, Naples; and Cattle watering before the Temple of Paestum (both illustrated)
both inscribed 'Paestum' (on the reverse)
pencil, watercolour and bodycolour, unframed
7 x 8¾ in. (17.8 x 22 cm.); and smaller (2)

Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

The work The Temple of Paestum, Naples; and Cattle watering before the Temple of Paestum (both illustrated) by Harriet Cheney was worth GBP 1,680.00 (€ 2,477.49) to a buyer in October 2005. This price was achieved in the auction WATERCOLOURS OF THE GRAND TOUR FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 400.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Harriet Cheney achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An album of forty-three portrait studies from the circle of the Cheney family (vol. I) in Italy and elsewhere, the sitters including: Marquis and Marchioness of Morando; Teresa, Marchese Morando1; Mme Morando; Lady Elizabeth Foster2, afterwards Eliz in October 2005 with an auction result of GBP 16,800.00 (€ 24,774
