Upper estimate price exceeded by 62 %.
In November 2013 Sothebys in London held the auction Important Russian Art, which included the work Girl With A Wreath by Mikhail Vrubel. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 194,500.00 (€ 234,054.72), 62% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Mikhail Vrubel; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The Tsar Of The Sea sold at auction in May 2012 with the realized price of GBP 229,250.00 (€ 285,635.41).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 62 % übertroffen
