Upper estimate price exceeded by 88 %.
This artwork by John William Godward achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2019. In the British & European Art: Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction, the work Memories, a study sold for GBP 56,250.00 (€ 61,758.76) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John William Godward achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Far away thoughts in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 1,049,250.00 (€ 1,294,016.65).

Dieses Kunstwerk von John William Godward erzielte im Juli 2019 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British & European Art: Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art wurde die Arbeit Memories, a study für GBP 56.250,00 (€ 61.758,76) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John William Godward erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Far away thoughts im Dezember 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.049.250,00 (€ 1.294.016,65).
