Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The Hand-Writing upon the Wall; Gentle Emetic; Charming-well again by James Gillray was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Bonhams in London in December 2021. It achieved a price of GBP 828.75 (€ 988.52), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 18%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Gillray achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work ‘Consequences Of A Successful French Invasion... Or... We Fly On The Wings Of The Wind To Save The Irish Catholics From Persecution’ in March 2018 with an auction result of GBP 47,500.00 (€ 54,081.37).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
