Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Isabella by John Melhuish Strudwick was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2012. The price achieved of GBP 97,250.00 (€ 121,169.22) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00.
