The work Kremlin under the snow by Vasily Sitnikov was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2017. It achieved a price of GBP 68,750.00 (€ 78,041.48), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 38%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Vasily Sitnikov - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Self-Portrait With Crows By The Kremlin, which sold at auction in November 2015 for GBP 110,500.00 (€ 157,390.84).
