Upper estimate price exceeded by 28 %.
The work Portrait of William Pratt, seated half-length, behind a desk with quill pen by Benjamin Wilson was sold in the The House Sale auction at Christies in New York in October 2006. It achieved a price of USD 3,840.00 (€ 3,006.34), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 28%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Benjamin Wilson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Group Portrait Of The Hussey Family, Small Full-Length, In The Garden Of Wargrave Hill House, Berkshire in November 2004 with an auction result of GBP 31,070.00 (€ 44,694.03).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 28 % übertroffen
