This artwork by Ilya Repin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2016. In the Russian Art auction, the work Father Matvei sold for GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,129.66) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ilya Repin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Parisian Café in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 4,521,250.00 (€ 5,001,922.73).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Ilya Repin erzielte im November 2016 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Russian Art wurde die Arbeit Father Matvei für GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.129,66) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ilya Repin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Parisian Café im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.521.250,00 (€ 5.001.922,73).
