Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by William Powell Frith achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in December 2019. In the Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction, the work Kate Nickleby At Madame Mantalini'S sold for GBP 47,500.00 (€ 56,139.44) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Powell Frith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Derby Day: the 'first study' for the celebrated painting in December 2011 with an auction result of GBP 505,250.00 (€ 605,108.24).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Powell Frith erzielte im Dezember 2019 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art wurde die Arbeit Kate Nickleby At Madame Mantalini'S für GBP 47.500,00 (€ 56.139,44) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Powell Frith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Derby Day: the 'first study' for the celebrated painting im Dezember 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 505.250,00 (€ 605.108,24).
