Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Mrs. Sarah Bordley by Charles Willson Peale was worth USD 43,750.00 (€ 32,345.11) to a buyer in March 2010. This price was achieved in the auction Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 8,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Willson Peale achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work George Washington at Princeton in January 2006 with an auction result of USD 21,296,000.00 (€ 17,516,038.82).
