Upper estimate price exceeded by 70 %.
The work Water Lillies by Benjamin Williams Leader was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2021. It achieved a price of GBP 11,875.00 (€ 13,925.90), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 70%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Benjamin Williams Leader achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Kempsey Church on the River Severn in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 135,750.00 (€ 215,180.46).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 70 % übertroffen
