This artwork by Francis Grant achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in June 2008. In the Important British Paintings auction, the work Portrait Of Lady Victoria Leveson-Gower (1867-1953) On Her Pony Lady Whitworth sold for GBP 111,650.00 (€ 141,129.34) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francis Grant - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of Daisy Grant, The Artist'S Daughter, Full Length, Wearing A Black Dress, Red Petticoat, Black Shawl, Hat And Boots, And Grey Gloves In A Winter Landscape, which sold at auction in June 2001 for GBP 174,250.00 (€ 289,463.92).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 86 % übertroffen
