Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Ary Scheffer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in December 2021. In the CollectionsIncluding: The Contents of Stanley House, The Estate of the Late John Schaeffer, The Estate of the Late Dame Diana Rigg auction, the work Faust and Mephistopheles sold for GBP 19,000.00 (€ 22,663.01) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ary Scheffer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait De George Washington, D'Après Gilbert Stuart in June 2010 with an auction result of EUR 265,000.00.
