Auction result misses estimated price range
In April 2016 a collector was able to acquire the work British outdoor Gossip, Cairo by John Frederick Lewis for GBP 293,000.00 (€ 374,541.12). This price was achieved in the auction The Orientalist Sale at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 300,000.00 – 500,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by John Frederick Lewis have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Midday Meal, Cairo in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 2,472,000.00 (€ 3,663,660.11).
