Upper estimate price exceeded by 60 %.
The work Three Costume Designs for The Nutcracker and Set Design for La Dame aux camélias by Alexander Nikolaevich Benois was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2020. It achieved a price of GBP 4,788.00 (€ 5,348.62), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 60%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alexander Nikolaevich Benois achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Promenade of Empress Elizabeth in April 2006 with an auction result of USD 441,600.00 (€ 349,809.89).
