The work Composition with Classical Figure by Augustus Lunn was sold in the The Isabel Goldsmith Collection: Selected Pre-Raphaelite and Symbolist Art auction at Christies in London in July last year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 8,190.00 (€ 9,780.31), 37% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Augustus Lunn - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Gale Warning, which sold at auction in November 2019 for GBP 32,500.00 (€ 38,162.95).
