This artwork by Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2017. In the Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art auction, the work Mary Magdalene sold for GBP 23,750.00 (€ 26,501.35) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work British love'S Shadow in May 2011 with an auction result of USD 494,500.00 (€ 343,976.07).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys erzielte im Juli 2017 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art wurde die Arbeit Mary Magdalene für GBP 23.750,00 (€ 26.501,35) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit British love'S Shadow im Mai 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 494.500,00 (€ 343.976,07).
