Sold at the upper estimate price
The work The Snakecharmer by Arthur William Devis was sold in the Topographical Pictures including Selections from the Kelton Collection auction at Christies in London in October 2019. The auction ended at the price of GBP 50,000.00 (€ 57,996.41), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Admittedly, works by Arthur William Devis have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait of the children of Benjamin Goldsmid, with a pony and a dog in a landscape in May last year with an auction result of GBP 201,600.00 (€ 237,163.21).
